This course examines light as a medium in the production of artwork.  The class will look at traditions of using light as volumes in space, as projections, as subject matter and as sculptural sources.  We will examine techniques for generating luminous structures with conventional hardware, film, video, fire and theatrical sources.   The works of Flavin, Turrel, Boltansky, Richter, Paik and Viola will figure prominently in our approach, but we will also explore ancillary contributions by a wide variety of artists working across several fields.  Students will be required to work individually and on cooperative projects.   Although the class will officially meet in Fisher 162, we will use a variety of spaces around the campus and work on projects in the field that may require travel times other than class hours.On-line

This course surveys the history of appropriation in experimental media from the found footage, cut-up and collage films of the 1950's, the Lettrists and Situationists up to the current artistic and activist production efforts such as culture jamming, game hacking, sampling, hoaxing, resistance, interference and tactical media intervention.  The spectrum of traditions which involve the strategic  recontextualizing of educational, industry and/or broadcast media sources, projects that detourn official 'given' meaning, re-editing of outtakes, recycling of detritus, and a variety of works of piracy and parody which skew/subvert media codes will be examined for their contribution to the field.  Issues regarding gender, identity, media and net politics, technology, copyright and aesthetics will be addressed as raised by the work.  Students are required to write a research paper and produce their own tape or video game intervention as the syllabus for the class will specify. On-line
