Description

Time based art is a cluster of units dealing with the complex multiplicity of artistic forms which use the passage of and the manipulation of time as the essential element. Time Based Art 1A introduces key concepts in time based art with specific reference to experimental film, video art and installation, sound, performance and multimedia computing. The course develops critical awareness by close study of histories of the moving image and the expressive use of technology and the human body. Concurrently the subject provides preliminary technical training in the various technologies used in the production of video, sound and performance works.
