Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
Reading How We Think: Digital Media and Contemporary Technogenesis, my mind naturally went towards asking the question of how does the accessibility of the Internet and digital media on the whole effect how we engage with history/conduct research on the past? In a similar vein, how does the Internet and other digital technologies effect how we think about archiving and preserving documents of all types for the future?

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.
