Description
During this course we will reflect on the phenomenon of ‘expanded cinema’ in the broadest meaning of the term. We shall consider several film practices that deviate from the standard format of commercial movies and are presented elsewhere than in a regular cinema: the museum, the street and in our living rooms. Our history begins in the 1960s; a period that introduced the term media ecology in order to capture the complex interactions between different media practices, such as Hollywood cinema, independent film, television, and video art, on a local and global scale. We shall trace a geneaglogy of the multi-screen film and video installation up to ‘post-cinematic’ present where film has become fully integrated within the visual arts. We shall discuss such topics as real-time, liveness, media feedback, and reenactment as well as discuss the impact of urban screens, surveillance cameras and remost sensing technology on our daily experience.
