The course will operate using a lecture/extended lab-critique paradigm. Lectures will be given during a two-hour meeting each week, to be followed by longer, informal studio sessions intended to focus on specific student concerns. The course will start from an historical perspective, taking a critical look at past meldings of audio and video. The course will then move to a series of "case study" discussions of new methodologies available for sound/image interaction. Concomitant with this shift to present practice, students will be required to develop -- alone or in small-group collaborations -- projects that will meld the auditory and visual aspects of artistic expression. These projects will then provide focal points for commentary and broader intellectual perspective during the latter part of the class.

Jointly offered by the Department of Music and the School of the Arts, this course allows students from various creative disciplines to explore interdisciplinary paradigms for artistic expression made possible by new and emerging technologies. In particular, this course will focus upon the intersection of the digital image (static and moving) with digital audio. An historical perspective will provide a foundation for the development of integrated artworks. These finished works will be the ultimate goal of the class.

The class meets from 11:30-1:30 PM on Tuesdays, in the Digital Media
Center (301 Dodge).
