Real-Time A/V introduces students to the history, theory, and practice of live audiovisual signal processing for experimental media art performance. Through readings, lectures, screenings, discussions, technical instruction, and visiting artists, students will learn how early experiments by video artists and toolmakers have developed, through the years, into contemporary praxis. Hardware-based, analog systems will be discussed and a variety of software will be introduced including Signal Culture Apps, Resolume Avenue, and Max/MSP/Jitter. Experimentation, improvisation, play, and chance operations will be encouraged as students develop the technical and conceptual aspects of their independently driven performance and single-channel video projects. We will also examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected communities of practitioners and created new avenues for web-based performance. The semester will culminate in a student-organized online exhibition of final projects.
