Course: Images Sequencing

This interdisciplinary course explores performance and experiential practices through video and image sequencing. Students experiment with context, time, sound, installation and the shifting roles of viewer/user/participant. Students learn technical applications of professional video production, formal and conceptual strategies, and collaborative skills.

Below are 4 sample projects from this course.

Project Sample 1

Students were challenged to create a video performance that responded to Warhol's "Andy Warhol Eats A Hamburger". Student variations utilized After Effects to add text, animations or special effects with the goal of revealing new information to the contents of the bag. This project explored language, concept, form, and performance.

Project Sample 2

Students were brought to a room with a piano. They had 20 minutes to record sound material.

They were then challenged to create a short video work that used the recorded sound in some way.

Project Sample 3

This project explores the culture of Social Media and Customer Reviews.

Students were challenged to explore a local outdoor shopping center and create a Customer Review of something that would not normally be reviewed.

These reviews brought attention to various mundane and overlooked aspects of consumer culture.

The videos were then shared as actual Customer Reviews on the shopping centers public Facebook page.

Project Sample 4

This project explores participation and collaboration.

As s group project, students were challenged to remake a video piece by Harrell Fletcher in collaboration with the downtown community of Greensboro, NC.
