Sadly, the author of today’s text, Dr. Helen Papagiannis, has the flu. i’m sorry we won’t have her expert presence today, but the silver lining is that we’ll have plenty of space for unhurried discussion and your questions – be sure to come ready with them.

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.
