Auto Fiction

Catalog description

Autofictions is a studio class built around the creation of immersive, multi-path and interactive experiences based on personal narrative. The main focus of the course is to experiment with new forms enabled by technology with a focus on immersive works (rather than presentational forms) and to give the students experience working in an interdisciplinary creative team. Grad Film, Design for Stage and Film, ITP and students from other disciplines will be placed in teams built to ensure each team has the necessary mix of skills. Each team will create an original experience from conception to presentation. The intention here is to experience creative collaboration between different practices, values, and artistic cultures. Students will create a work of immersive fiction based on materials gathered from the past, filmed in the present or imagined for the future that will be presented at the end of the semester.
