Nye media og performance: Extended Embodiment

Lågaregradsemne

Emnebeskrivelse

Utfyllande semesteromtale

Performing for and with the camera

Teaching in week 8 - 15 (self-directed work in week 10 and 12)

While the concept of the fourth wall has been (and still is) a commonly accepted convention traditionally used in theatre, film and television, visual artists have early on broken these traditions by performing specifically for the (video) camera respectively used the camera as a tool to perform with. The proliferation of the smartphone and the possibility of self-distribution through the internet added yet another dimension to the use of the medium, that is to say also a new group of users as well as a new audience.

In this course we will explore the relationship between the (performing) artist and their audience. In particular, we will examine tools and strategies on how to record and document when working with performance and time-based media.

Through exercises and self-directed work, the workshop participants will develop and produce their own works which will be presented as performances, sound and video installations or short films in the end of the course.

Prerequisite for participation: HMS courses for the media lab and sound studio.

Additionally, it is expected that

participants will be willing to work in teams, and either create work collaboratively and / or assist one another during

the production of their individual projects.

Teachers: Lilibeth Rasmussen (Emneansvarlig), Juliane Zelwies
