Rapid developments in new imaging techniques render our environments more and more visual. We consume images every day, but spend little time analyzing their precise content, context, or meaning. This course focuses on how moving images and kinetic imaging techniques convey explicit, implicit, and often inadvertent meanings. Students explore the perceptual workings, psychological impact, cultural conventions, and the use and abuse of visual media. In addition to developing analytical skills, assignments (with video option) challenge and inspire the making of creative and effective image sequences.
