MPFV272 Time-Based Digital Media 3cr

This class is designed to offer students from other art disciplines a technical and conceptual foundation for using video in their own art practice. From omnipotent surveillance to TikTok, video alters our sense of reality and representation. In this broad theoretical context, video is a cannibalistic medium. It ‘eats’ other media to efficiently deliver a complex message. Many contemporary artists engage with the medium as a part of their practice. Class time will be split between learning video production with in-class demos and exercises and more conceptual issues related to the image and editing. Videos utilizing alternative strategies to mainstream media and examples of artists utilizing video medium will be introduced. No previous experience required. [Formerly titled Video Prod. for Non-Majors]
