Section Info:
Meets with FR 443 and FR 552 In the past two decades the arts of the moving image have seen major changes both in their possibilities of material form (digital vs. analogue) but in mass delivery systems (CD-ROM, DVD, HD, web-based downloads/streaming video). Simultaneously, the European Union has been come a political and monetary reality and globalization has become a site of anxiety and political unrest in France. Long celebrated for its auteur-centered, "cin�ma d'art et d'essai "(art house and experimental cinema), how has the French film industry, as well as its more independently minded auteurs, responded to these shifts? What are the continuities between the digital moving image from "film" to CD-ROM and webart and how do national traditions seem to play a role in the conception or economics of reception of both films and new media art works? Specific questions and issues considered over the course of the semester include: digital aesthetics, analogue nostalgia, animation, motion capture, the "language" of new media, the interface, virtual realities, relation and form, gallery/street/web/home viewing spaces, the French "cultural exception," television in the film industry, CD-ROM vs internet art.
