This studio course introduces students to digital video as a critical and cultural form. The course provides both an in-depth introduction to the techniques, software, structure of video and sound, and a historical overview of its use by artists. The course includes current artistic practices that use video on the web, as social media, in the gallery and in public space. Skills learned include how to capture stills, create stop motion animation, record sound/video, edit, and prepare media for installation. This course concentrates on the experimental use of video as installation combining the use of video/sound, tangible materials, and physical space.
