You will study:
- Photography: Durational & Still; Analogue & Digital
- Electronic Imagery: Motion & Still
- Visualisation: Stand-alone & Interactive
The programme draws on a broad range of cultural references and technical practices. It offers the opportunity to take stock of evolving practices and developments in image media culture and is structured to develop the intellectual imagination within each individual student. This is achieved through a combined study of practice and theory, with extensive instruction through 'enabling sessions' which engage technical familiarity; tutorials; The Ascent of the Image module and additional theoretical and practical study.
Recognising the rapidly changing definitions and context of these practice areas, and the value/positioning of traditional practices, these categories may also be understood through a variety of practices that involve image construction and presentation both still and durational, including: film/video, animation, interactivity, installations, motion graphics, and hyperspace constructs, as well as evolving new exploratory categories.
You will have the opportunity to develop and/or research aspects of visual style and draw on a broad range of cultural references as well as aesthetic and technical approaches engaged through ‘Practice Theory Sessions’, visiting lectures and the Ascent of the Image module. Fundamental to the programme is the space that it creates to make it possible for you to explore, question, change and consolidate your work and your ideas.
