| Course Objectives: | The course intends to provide an appreciation of film and video as a creative medium. Mainly focusing on artistic practices, the course aims to explore the notion of "moving images" and how it offers an expanded view on film and video. It also intends to introduce the students how artists create and/or use moving images in creative ways that challenges preconceived notions of film, cinema and media productions. |
| Course Content: | This course provides an overview of the use of film and video as an artistic medium. It covers video art as part of a larger context of "moving images" and their incorporation into creative work that is neither defined as cinema, nor documentary, nor short or experimental film. It will introduce the students early examples of video art as practiced by conceptual artists of the 1960s and 1970s, followed by contemporary use of video and film in the art context. Students will learn theoretical aspects of moving images and experiment with applying these ideas into actual moving image works. The course will introduce contemporary and historical artists working with moving image through lectures, screenings, and visits to gallery and museum exhibitions. |
