This split-level studio-seminar course is designed as a testing ground for critical and creative experimentation in studio practices that push beyond traditional media, including artist multiples, circuit-bending, performance art, and video art. With the assistance of the instructor and lab technician, students will continue to develop technical familiarity with digital video recording and editing in order to expand formal and creative applications. The semester will include four studio projects, one field trip, one class exhibition, and several workshops/demos.

Readings, screenings, and lectures will provide a base for assignments and initiate class discussion, providing participants with the critical awareness for a rigorous exploration of their work in the context of a rapidly changing technological and media landscape. Works and writings produced for class will be documented and archived by students on the course blog throughout the term with images and textual descriptions.
