About Art Video

The art video program addresses the use of video as a medium for making contemporary art. We emphasize conceptual development and video design skills, grounded in advanced production and post-production. To support your creative work, you will be immersed in the history and theory of moving image/sound relationships. We encourage a multidisciplinary approach to video. You will investigate the many ways video technology is used creatively: as single channel works challenging the conventions of narrative and documentary form; as a visual art form integrating computer generated images, audio experimentation and performance art; as a primary source of creative content for the World Wide Web; and as a sculptural medium used in site-specific installations.
