Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
Hi Everyone,
As discussed last class, we will meet downtown at InterAccess for some cultural enrichment. Interaccess is located at 9 Ossington (corner of Queen). Then we will wander over to 254 Niagara to the Pari Nadimi Gallery for another Rokeby show. We will then convene at Gypsy Co-op (or some other location in the area) for refreshments and deep discussion.

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.
