They are encouraged to incorporate performance or sculptural elements with video projections or monitors. Advanced Projects is an exploration of advanced aesthetic, conceptual and technical aspects of visual electronic media. Students learn about digital non-linear video editing and advanced video production techniques through individual projects, class discussion and critiques. In addition, relevant historical and theoretical issues are addressed through readings, lectures and screenings. This course is an important sounding board for the student's developing vantage point on the medium as well as the process of making art.
Students begin to use source video as part of a layered or manipulated work.
Animating text and 3-D models are considered as potential sources. We explore multi-layered narrations, abstract generations of the digital time based work, the implications of mixing and manipulating the video record as well as the integration of the products of computer modeling. Developing an understanding of the uses of effects and strengthening students intentions are important goals in this course. Strategies for the use of animated and interactive artwork in physical and virtual worlds are considered. Various outputs and presentations are outlined from projection and installation to the World Wide Web.
