Seminar Equipment Request

Hi Prof. Fisher,

I would like to get an HDTV in the class for my seminar presentation on April 1, to bring in a PS3 and let people try out a couple of things that can add to the discussion of the readings. I do specifically want an HDTV, not a standard def TV, because it is the way the material is intended to be display, and it will give the class a better sense of how cinematic games are. Thanks,

Neil Sylva

ok, we will try to order. as a back up, bring any cables you have in addition to HD, just in case… I also found your email and have made sure that future emails from you will reach me.

Future Cinema – 2015

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.
