Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
hi everyone
just a reminder that because we have loaned out the fogscreen tomorrow we will be doing hypermedia cinema and gaming! so please read the correct readings. sorry for any confusion — I thought the switch was clear, but I’ve received an email that suggests otherwise ;-)
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.
