INSTHUM 411. Topics in Interdisciplinary Studies.Section 001 — Collaboration in the New Media. [3 credits]. Meets with PAT 442.001, FILMVID 404.001, ARTDES 454.001.Instructor(s): Christopher E McNamara (mcnamart@umich.edu), Andrew Jay KirschnerPrerequisites & Distribution: Advanced undergraduate standing. (1-4). (Excl). May be repeated for credit. Credits: (1-4). Course Homepage: http://coursetools.ummu.umich.edu/2004/winter/pat/442/001.nsf This course is intended, chiefly, for students in Film and Video Studies, Art and Design, and Music, but will be open to anyone with relevant experience in traditional or new media production. Using a collaborative approach and working in small crews, participants will engage in a number of sound and image experiments designed to encourage the creation of hybrid media works. Ideally, students will conceive of sound, text, music, and images synthetically, and will develop them into a cohesive form in which no element is treated as secondary. Meeting once a week, students will gather for discussions, screenings, listening sessions, demonstrations, presentations, and critiques of their colleagues' works. Readings on the subject of New Media, and its cultural/social/political/historical context will be assigned. The final creative projects will likely be quite diverse in structure, theme, and mode of presentation. Final projects will be presented in a mini-festival, open to the public. Undergraduate, upper-level, with experience in either audio or video production. Ability to work independently and collaboratively on creative projects.
