MONDAYS 1 - 4 PM
Josephine Baker and Rhianna - Red Wine and French Fries - Professional Wrestling and Greek Gods. Outside of time, trends, zeitgeists and images actively sign and signify. Understanding and deploying their mechanisms are among the chief of the powers of artists. Determined Desires applies basic semiotic principles to the analysis of popular culture and politics and from the past and seeks analogous events of the present and speculates the future. Students will form small research groups to discover contemporary analogs for the popular cultural musings presented in Roland Barthes collected MYTHOLOGIES essays (1957). They will present their findings bi-weekly in class using audio-visual media to make their research explicit and to discuss the ways in which their own practices can exploit these strategies. Students will also develop and produce three to five projects using the materials of their choice and choose at least one of their pieces for revision as their final project.

a _new_ New Media Art course in FVNMA!
a _new_ New Media Art course in FVNMA!
Systems, Codes & Spaces (FVNM-2101-001)
WEDS 6 - 9 PM
FALL 2012

Systems, Codes & Spaces critically introduces the art of nonlinear Media Art and provides a historical and theoretical understanding of Digital Art forms. As Jack Burnham wrote in his 1968 essay Systems Esthetics, systems "may contain people, ideas, messages, atmospheric conditions, power sources, and so on". Close readings of systems and processes of interactive, digital and New Media Art will train students in the core aesthetic decisions, structures, strategies and demands of complex Media Art systems. This will involve screening works and analyzing these works through structural considerations of influential projects in the mediums of Video, Installation, Interactivity, New Media and Experimental 3D. Students read relevant Media Art historical and theoretical texts, discussing these texts in relation to projects shown in class. Writings drawn from Media Art Histories, such as those by Jack Burnham, Pamela Lee and Edward A. Shanken; and from nearby fields of research such as Cybernetics, will be mobilized as tools to understand nodal networks and ongoing relationships. Students should be taking Video: Crash Course and/or New Media: Crash Course simultaneously with this class.
