ARTS 201(S) Video Art Performance
This course will examine video as a component in performance and live-based artworks. Screenings, readings, and discussions will focus on seminal and contemporary works dating from the 1960's to the present that demonstrate the ongoing relationship between performance and video. This would be a hands-on course designed towards developing technical proficiency in the medium, including shooting and editing,and image and sound relationships. From there, students will work individually and collaboratively on projects. We will focus on video as reflexive medium for documenting the live act or creating alternative or imaginary selves. Themes and strategies that we will cover include documenting live action using the body, experimental narrative, and time and duration as an experience of place or space. Lab fee.
