Hello and welcome to the course blog for ATSU 4450 New Media Topics at UNT. As we will discuss in class, "Expanded Cinema" is an approach to thinking about image making and media that can be interpreted liberally. We will be considering the historical and contemporary contexts of avant-garde film and video art and how they have informed and are informed by this particular perspective. Much of this will revolve around Gene Youngblood's text, "Expanded Cinema", but will include other writings as well. This blog will be a forum for us to discuss readings, projects, and works viewed in class. While this is a studio course, there will be readings assigned on a weekly basis, and you will be required to post a substantial response on the blog before the following class meeting and be ready to discuss. Readings will be assigned in class, but will also be denoted on the syllabus.
I'm excited to get to know you all and look forward to seeing the work you produce!
Here's a little something to whet your Expanded Cinema whistle.
Mike Morris
