Welcome to 𝕰𝖝𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖎𝖒𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖆𝖑 𝕾𝖙𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖔 II/III 💛

This split-level studio course is designed around critical and creative experimentation in expanded studio practices, particularly new media. Level IIs will continue to develop technical familiarity with digital video and audio processing software in order to expand formal and creative applications. They will also begin to develop an understanding of experimental studio methods in relation to their broader artistic practice. Level IIIs will advance their technical familiarity with digital video and audio processing software in order to expand conceptual, formal, and creative applications; as well as develop a more thorough comprehension of experimental studio methods in relation to their broader artistic practice.

Readings, screenings, and artist talks will provide a base for assignments and initiate class discussion, providing participants with the critical awareness for a rigorous exploration of their work in the context of a rapidly changing technological and media landscape. Works and writings produced for class will be documented and archived by students on this blog throughout the term.
