Immersive Cinema

Information Hub / Computational Media and Arts · 3 Credits

In this course we will explore the artistic, formal, and technical processes involved in creating motion pictures for non-standard screens and multi-channel, immersive cinema installations that occupy a unique, multi-projection cinema architecture. We will create work that expands cinema from passively viewed, two-dimensional projection in a traditional theater architecture to an embodied, poly-perspectival configuration of cinema in space. Approaching cinema as a form of concrete poetry, we will investigate the potential for expression and meaning-making rooted within the specificity of different formal presentation formats to develop an individual language of expression.
