Video Installation
F05, F06
Laura Parnes
This course will explore a variety of advanced approaches to video—including multiple channels, live feeds, and the integration of sculptural approaches—in order to investigate installational concerns and the presentation of video in a gallery or museum setting. With an emphasis on content, we will explore media art and its relationship to architecture, furniture, and to theories of display and spectacle. We will also explore the challenges of presenting a time-based medium in a context that is traditionally not time based. Throughout the term you will be asked to analyze images rigorously to advance your own visual systems and forms of expression. Students will complete work weekly in response to a wide range of texts and screenings. This work will culminate in a final video installation project.
