This studio course investigates video installation as an evolving contemporary art form that extends the conversation of video art beyond the frame and into live, hybrid media, site-specific, and multiple-channel environments. Presentations, screenings, and readings augment critical thinking about temporal and spatial relationships, narrative structure, viewer perception and the challenges of presenting time-based work. Workshops hone technical skills and problem solving. Students develop research interests and apply their skills sets to short turnaround exercises and expanded self-directed projects for gallery and non-theatrical contexts.
