Overview of class

This course looks at compelling uses of sound in moving-image art, and asks students to challenge the traditional sound-image relationship with projects that put the creation and conception of sound first. Students will look at uses of sound across experimental film, video art, and installation work to gain an understanding of the contemporary landscape. Class time will include case studies of filmmakers and visual artists, discussions of readings and critiques of student work. By the end of this class students will have a stronger sense of the role of sound in art and experimental films and a new set of tools and ideas to advance their creative expression.
