Course Aims | ||||||||
This course aims to provide students with a strong foundation in both analog and digital audiovisual aesthetics and theory. During the semester, we will consider ideas concerning the relationship between human perception and mediated communication, as well as points of similarity (or analogy) and difference between "old" and "new" media forms. These investigations will be conducted initially through a selective introduction to key concepts of film theory, which will provide a partial template for thinking about issues of form and narrativity in new media. The goals of the class are to develop a common vocabulary and conceptual understanding of new media, to identify and clarify the relationship between aesthetic and cultural theory and artistic practice, and to begin an ongoing process of looking closely at the relationship between one's own practical work and that of historical antecedents and contemporary peers. | ||||||||
