The video program addresses the use of video as a medium for making contemporary art. We encourage a multidisciplinary approach to video, providing opportunities for you to interact with fellow students throughout the University.
Video is a social medium.
In beginning classes video is approached freely as a medium for perceptual and conceptual development. Students bring their interests to class via video recordings, learning about themselves, their world, and the video medium simultaneously. In subsequent classes students are required to produce work informed by the history and theoretical tenets of the medium. Audio, including music, is a key aspect of this time-based medium. To help our students learn quickly, we have one of the best collections of artists' tapes in the United States.
