| New Media Spring Lecture
Series 2003: Alternative Narratives Film & Media Arts MFA Colloquium (FMA 943) Prof. Sarah Drury Temple University |
|
The Film & Media Arts MFA Colloquium Spring Lecture Series 2003 features a series of six visiting lecturers who will present their work in film, video and new media. The 2003 Colloquium will, in general, address "Alternative Narratives," including a current and historical exploration of the impact of new technologies on narrative, deconstruction, interactivity, networked authorship, media installation, hypermedia, physical interfaces and translocal performance. Bi-weekly lecture/demonstrations will alternate with readings (including a number of artists' "manifestos"), screenings, lectures by the professor and student presentations. Historically, manifestos published by artists and filmmakers have attempted to articulate not only concerns of art and media production, but also to locate these concerns in the context of the moment on cultural, political and/or spiritual grounds. To this end, students will be asked to create and present their own manifestos, integrating readings, screenings discussions within a personal statement. Colloquium Course Requirements: Attendance at all class sessions, reading assigned texts and presenting a personal Manifesto. |
