NMSA 305 SU01P: Special Topics in NMSA
This studio course offers students the opportunity to develop projects on a specially-developed topic that responds to emerging trends within contemporary new media and electronic art practices. The course offers historical, theoretical and practical insights into experimental practices associated with the topic. Students cultivate an ability to examine and critique media works within an understanding of the audiences receiving their projects. Students learn how to position their work in relation to prominent discourses within contemporary media. This course has a focus on practice-based research.
In a directed workshop setting, students will undertake a series of assigned projects designed to address the ways in which digital cultures have expanded the context of contemporary photographic practices in technical, theoretical and historical terms. This expanded context places photography and digital imaging in proximity to the varied practices of contemporary art in general. Students will be introduced to a range of non-traditional photographic processes and platforms, which may include experimental
scanning techniques, lomography, polaroid transfers, and printing on unconventional surfaces. Considerations of both input and output strategies will inform students of the varied strategies of image production characteristic of contemporary art. Student production will be based on an advanced level of technical and artistic research.
