Course contents :
|
| The course focuses on major artists who marked the history of video art, from its origins in the 1960s (Nam June Paik) to the present day (Bill Viola), with particular attention to video creation in Belgium. Their works will be discussed from various points of view (historical, aesthetic, sociological). The last part of the course turns to digital arts and the new approaches to images. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Students are introduced to major though often little known works in video art and digital arts; they are invited to question the language used and the conditions of representation, and to ponder the specificities of such visual pratices that merge art and communication technologies. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| None. Yet a basic knowledge of contemporary art is an asset. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Students can choose between two kinds of works: analysing a video work that was not discussed in class or making a video art or digital art work of their own, to be analysed and commented at the oral examination. They must submit a written project in December and hand in their work at the beginning of the January exams. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
