VM 637 - Space, Place, Image, Sound

Credits: 4 credits
(Spring)

Examines the development of image-and-sound-based installation art from the late 20th century through the contemporary period. Multimedia installation-expressed in site-specific public works, artist films, single and multichannel video, sculpture and performance, and new media and interactive forms-has become a vital art form in the 21st century. Students produce multimedia installed works of their own design and are introduced to the unique properties and parameters of the form. The culmination of the course is a collaborative multi-site presentation of the work created in class, staged as a 21st-century “Happening.”

Prerequisite(s)/Corequisite(s) VM 613: Foundations of Image and Sound Production, Advanced Standing, or waiver from the graduate program director.
