DM-UY 4913 Live Media Processing for Performance and Installation

This hands-on studio class will introduce students to the fascinating world of real-time video and audio processing. Using a range of tools, students will build playback systems for live performance and multi-channel media installations. The course is based in Isadora, but we will build expandable systems that can incorporate a variety of generative media programs such as Resolume and Modul8, as well as hardware including sensors and controllers (both virtual and physical). Topics will include projection mapping, live mixing, live-feed cameras, serial, OSC and MIDI communication and designing multi-projector, immersive environments. We will also explore how to develop a project conceptually as well as production and editing skills to generate your own dynamic video images.

DM-UY 2123 Narrative Cinema

In this course, students complete a coordinated sequence of short projects that add up to a finished, live-motion video project. The course strongly emphasizes the relevance of particular tools and techniques to the specific project Concepts are introduced through the screening of historical examples, from 1895 to the present. The course format is modeled on professional standards and workflow for preproduction, production and postproduction.

DM-GY 6143 Interaction Design Studio

This seminar introduces students from diverse backgrounds to interaction design as a creative and a design practice. The course surveys application areas, supporting technologies and their impact on individual and group relationships. Group projects introduce the collaborative and interdisciplinary development process common in the professional technology and design. Students are expected to develop technology competencies, including software programming, configuration of hardware devices and the operation of standard digital-media hardware and software tools. Students are also expected to demonstrate interpretive positions regarding analysis of the impact of technology on individuals and social interactions.

DM-GY 6103 Live Performance Studio

This course introduces students to contemporary digital performance techniques and issues, i.e., integrating computing technology into traditional performing arts. Drawing on contemporary research in performance studies, as well as technical advances in performing-arts production design, students perform research on how digital technology and media are integrated into dance, theater, performance art and concert-music performance. Students develop performance technologies as part of their research and present them to the group at the end of the semester.

DM-UY 4913 Real Time A/V

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.

DM-UY 2263 Still and Moving Images

This course provides an overview of image making and presentation techniques, from still to moving. Students will also be introduced to experimental image making. This course will cover introductory still and video camera use, as well as how to begin integrating image within media. Students will gain practical and analytical skills through workshops, assignments, critiques, technical instruction, readings, screenings, and discussions.

DM-GY 9103 Camera and Capture

This course provides an introduction to compositing video using traditional vfx and realtime pipelines with the Unreal Engine. Students will develop cinematics that composite video into a 3D virtual world. Using matchmotion tracking students will integrate the camera movement of footage shot on greenscreen with CGI. Students will develop their concepts using previz and virtual production techniques.
