MAFL 340 Media Installation

College of Art, Media & Design School of Film

3 credits 90.0 hours
300 level undergraduate course

The world of media art has expanded beyond movie theaters and the web’s rectangular screens. As the traditional art world encompasses moving image and sound, we find the idea of marble morphing into data bits. Media Installation is concerned with media & physical space and how to occupy it, relate to it, and influence the perception of it. In this class we will explore the history of media installations, read essays and interviews with practitioners, have guest speakers, and experiment with the tools at hand to make a variety of works. We are going to learn how to make the moving image and sound react, emote, and integrate with the physical environment using sensors, cameras, audio, projectors and whatever else we might need to invent.
