MEDS 222 - Digital Art I

Semester Offered: Fall and Spring
1 unit(s)

(Same as ART 222) This studio-based course serves as a comprehensive introduction to video in the expanded field. Through a series of projects, students are introduced to camera operation, sound recording, lighting, video and sound editing, and projection mapping. Student work takes the form of experimental videos, multi-media installations, public projections, and sound installations. Through class discussions, visiting artist lectures, screenings of historical and contemporary works, and visits to galleries/museums in NYC, students refine their critical vocabulary and gain a broad understanding of key issues in the field. These include the relationship between images and sounds, digital images and physical objects, projected images and architectural space. Through these activities, our aim is the formulation of each student’s unique artistic language. No prior familiarity with video or digital media is required.
