This course provides a new understanding on "worlding" as an inclusive lateral design media platform crossing audio visual, traditional and contemporary media. First popularized by Heidegger in Being and Time (1927), he turned the noun (world) into the active verb (worlding), a gerundive and generative process of world making, world becoming and (as he puts it) world "bringing-near". For Heidegger, worlding is always meaning giving and already ongoing (i.e. never not worlding). The course on media worlding explores the evolution of digital photography, film, video, computer games, audio and sound art, from traditional aesthetics, framing, composition and the transfer from those values to contemporary media forms such as but not limited to: Future Cinema, Interactive film, Hybrid Photography, experimental synesthetic audio production and crossing media outcomes. 

The course will cover new trends in media based worlding; how different genres and definitions have been developing, and how digital renovation enables possibilities; affecting our way of seeing and modelling our trends. Employing advanced technique, new media and wider content would expand aesthetics and our vocabulary in creative process. Through experiments and exercises, students will not only have a theoretical understanding of media worlding, but gain as well technical understanding of contemporary platforms of expression such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Expanded cinema and sonic experience. 

As we expand our vocabulary and methodology in image, space and sound conceptualisation as well as employing revolutionary techniques, new media and mobile content, we embrace a new media worlding as a creative means in cross discipline and evolving challenges.
