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.
