MPFV229 Video Installation in Hi-Def 3 cr.

High Definition video installation is a new genre of video art that uses state of the art technology to create visually stunning imagery. In this course will be working with high definition video as an art form, creating individual and collaborative projects that may include: multiple screen high def video installations, video sculptures combining found objects, high definition video and surround sound, high definition projections in public spaces and new forms yet to be discovered. Through the manipulation of time and space, and the fragmentation of narrative, students will learn techniques of high definition video production as it is incorporated into large-scale video installations. This includes specialized lighting and the authoring of blu-ray discs. By the end of the class students will have a greater understanding of the commitment it takes to make a successful high definition video art installation.
