Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
Hello everyone. A couple people mentioned wanting to stop by the lab today but I haven’t heard from anyone to confirm. Because of the conditions outside I’d rather not make the trek up to York (especially if everyone else is staying home too). Please e-mail me if you need to stop by the lab in the afternoon and I can arrange to be there. Otherwise I’ll see you all tomorrow. Sorry if this is an inconvenience.
Mon, March 10 2008 » Future Cinema 2
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.
