FILM 235 - Video Installation

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Since the beginning of video, artists have experimented with installation. Wolf Vostell and Nam June Paik used multiple monitors in the 1960s, Joan Jonas incorporated video with live performance, Juan Downey and Steina Vasulka experimented with interactive laser discs, and so on. The use of live feeds and large and small video projections on walls and objects imply complex shifts of narrative composition as well as temporal and spatial relationships. Through readings and screenings, the class examines these diffuse practices. Students are encouraged to explore high- and low-tech solutions to their audiovisual desires and to imagine the campus as their canvas. Prerequisite: Film 201-202.
