Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
Hi everyone
it would be great to see you, if you are available. I’m hoping that over the course of the two open houses we can display many of the class projects. I’m not sure at all how many people will attend, but if you can spare some time to hang out and be prepared to talk about your project, let me know — I would love to showcase your work (and, yes, it can be put on your cv!)

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.
