This course is an intensive, 15-week course which provides an introduction to time-based new media processes and practices. With an emphasis on individual and team based activities, students will engage with an array of materials, hardware and software to produce short time-based projects for a variety of potential platforms including single-channel presentation, web-based programming, portable media, installation and live audio/visual performance. Using 2D animation as a starting point we will look at a number of current strategies to produce media (both lens-based and non-lens-based), how it has evolved, and how contemporary new media interface with current cinematic and artistic practices.
