Experiences in Time: The Art of Time-based Media

(4 Credits)

This is a project-based course with a focus on developing conceptual ideas and experimenting with various time-based media to give form to those ideas. It will be a brief survey of various approaches to working in time, from sculptural objects to video and sound, performance art, and participatory social art practices. Throughout the course, students will explore time as both a material and concept, developing ways to create temporal installations and live experiences. It will involve both individual and collaborative projects, encouraging students to take experimental approaches as they explore the various ways artists work in time. While prior experience with media-based arts such as film, video, performance, or sound is beneficial, students with a strong interest in exploring time-based media and a willingness to experiment are encouraged to enroll.
