Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
ok, ok – I have to tell the truth – that essay I referred to last class was actualy an essay I wrote for a seminar course on postmodern film in undergrad. I’ve been trying to locate my digital copy of the paper, but alas it appears to be forever lost. if I do find it, I will definitely post it for you sadists who can’t get enough of my pontifications on baudrillard and Virilio in class ;)
Wed, November 9 2005 » Future Cinema
This course examines the shift from traditional cinematic spectacle to works probing the frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Drawing upon a broad range of scholarship, including film theory, communication studies, cultural studies and new media theory, the course will consider how digital technologies are transforming the semiotic fabric of contemporary visual culture. Our focus will be on the phenomenon Gene Youngblood described three decades ago as expanded cinema an explosion of the frame outward towards immersive, interactive and interconnected (i.e., environmental) forms of culture.
