Overview of class

For this video-based studio course, students will employ various strategies of image appropriation, sampling, and quotation while considering the history of image appropriation from the 20th-century avant-garde to 21st-century Internet Culture. Throughout the quarter, individual projects will engage with films and videos as raw material to be mined, interpreted, scrambled, rearranged and critically re-presented. Students will produce works in response to written prompts, a midterm and final video. Previous experience with digital editing suites like Premiere Pro is welcomed but not required. Methods of instruction include screenings and discussion, assigned readings, shared studio time, individual meetings, and critique.
