Video area courses and equipment constantly adapt: to new ideas, new practices and the evolving discourse of new media. They combine technical production with critical theory, cultural studies and art history.
Video courses focus on the critical, conceptual and technical skills that support the production of video installation, single channel video, Web-based projects and interactivity. Our seminars examine the many histories of video art as well as contemporary individual artists and collectives working with new technologies. The program hosts international visiting artists, critics and curators to expose students to a range of viewpoints in contemporary art.
