ART 3708 - Digital Media: Hybrid Media and Global Arts Practices

Fall or spring. Not offered every year. 4 credits.

Prerequisite: ART 2701 or permission of instructor.

Staff.

This studio investigates moving image and sound in contemporary global art. Converging practices in digital video, animation, performance, activism and theory are at the center of these new and blended forms. Global contemporary art has dislocated the moving image and sound from the theater to spaces of global biennials, international museums and galleries and in political arenas. All of these sources will be investigated and used as creative inspiration. Projects will be realized for a variety of exhibition possibilities including contemporary art spaces, public spaces and the internet. Students will conceptually and technically investigate hybrid media in relationship to global culture and technology. Students will use software including Final Cut Pro and others to create hybrid media forms.
