Semester Offered: Fall and Spring
1 unit(s)

(Same as MEDS 322) This advanced studio course expands on the work in ART 222/MEDS 222. It provides the conceptual and practical foundation for students to develop ambitious work across a range of media, including videos, installations, digital and hybrid objects, multi-media performances, participatory and collaborative projects, site- and context-specific works, and other as-yet undefined forms. Class discussions, screenings, artist talks, and visits to galleries/museums in NYC provide a theoretical framework for students’ work. Particular attention is paid to the methods, materials, sites, and issues of contemporary artistic practice. Review of camera operation, video editing, photo editing, and other digital imaging technologies are included. The course serves as a springboard for students to develop their own artistic sensibilities, languages, and interests while exploring pivotal theoretical frameworks that have shaped the course of experimental and avant-garde media practice in the 20th and 21st centuries. John Hulsey.
