Real and Unreal

Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there—I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television—you don't feel anything. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it's all television. 

-Andy Warhol

Series Project

A primary focus of much DA work is the exploration of the 4th dimension of perception: Time.

As with painting (which is particularly concerned with 2D surface) and sculpture (which explores chiefly 3D space), DA whether it is digital print (potential for editioned work), interactive media or video closely examines the 4th Dimension (time)whether it be sequential images, the narrative of filmic or sound pieces or the delayed potentially concurrent realities of an interactive work. 

For your first work you will be making something which uses Time as both its medium and its conceptual starting point.  You may choose to work in any medium for example a series of photoshoped images displayed as prints; a series of videos, a single video or sound piece that conceptually considers time and its perceptions, an interactive work using code: either html or flash.

You may make use of original created (drawn or collage) material that you scan in, found items, found footage, original footage drawn from real life, original photographs or staged filmed performance.

Recommended Software: Photoshop and/or Flash and or Final Cut Pro

TimeLine: 13  February – 7 March

Computer Booking

Given that there are now, more than ever the number of DA Students it is very important that you book time to use the machines.  One can no longer rely on finding one’s work space empty so please book and use you time effectively. 

Class time will often be used to discuss projects or concepts so one can not rely on dedicated class time to complete projects.

See Booking Forms above Each Machine.  Please be considerate and not book more than a three hour slot at a time.

Equipment Booking

Cameras are available from Ziyaad.  Please consult with him Re: Booking and collection times.  There is limited equipment so please do not take things out for times in which you don’t intend to use them.  We need to set the limit of the amount of time you may have the equipment at a stretch.  At present this is two days but may be negotiated with me depending on your need and others wishing to use the cameras.

Documenting your Processes

Apart from the visual diary with which you should now be familiar, I wish to introduce you to two useful tools of which I hope you will make use.

The first is the class blog the second is Del.Icio.Us (an online bookmarking system).  The idea behind these is to instil in you the convenience of working within the online environment as well as the process of tracking your own and your peers development.

All students need to have a Gmail account which we will use for blogger, Google documents and Google Calendar.

Please email me your Gmail so we can get started with our online environment.
