Here’s the Internet Movie Database info on the film Untraceable that I was talking about yesterday in class. I’d really like to see it in order to get an idea of where Hollywood’s online imagination is taking us in terms of terror and surveilance!
Also… Has anyone seen Caitlin’s copy of Chris Marker’s Immemory? I need to borrow it, and we haven’t been able to find it…

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.
