Time-Based Media I provides a focused introduction to the creation and analysis of video art within contemporary screen culture. The course bridges technical proficiency with creative theory by linking the history of the medium to modern media consumption, from traditional cinema to social media formats. Students explore themes of identity, performance, and social issues, learning to transform everyday experiences into meaningful artistic projects. A practical focus of this introductory class is building professional digital habits and understanding how the moving image fits into different worlds, including cinema, art galleries, and live performances. Through weekly screenings, student presentations, and discussions, students develop the creative and critical skills needed to navigate today’s visual landscape.
