MPFV108 Beyond the Box: Contemporary Transmedia Art Practice 3cr


This course introduces students to the

fundamental aspects of Transmedia production for

a contemporary art practice. Through class

screenings and field trips to museums and

galleries students will be exposed to an array of

Transmedia genre’s such VJing, VR, AR, Expanded

Cinema, Interactive, Immersive, Intervention and

Site-Specific Installation. This course will

present students with various conceptual,

theoretical, technical and aesthetic strategies

employed by a wide range of media artists from

the 1960s to the present day. In addition to

class discussions highlighting key figures and

concepts, students will be expected to take part

in collaborative media projects and be a

contributing part of the Transmedia Class

Exhibition that will take place in the second

half of the semester. Class demonstrations and

group projects will offer students an opportunity

to learn introductory technical skills relating

to video production, real-time animation, and VR

within the context of an art practice. Special

emphasis will be placed on post-production

concerns such as creating and constructing

installations and writing brief artist statements

about one’s work.
