Video Art Program

The Video Art Program is designed much like a film school program, with studio courses in the practical, conceptual and theoretical aspects of all time-based art, which includes video, sound design, animation, image-sequencing and compositing. Students investigate every aspect of digital video production, image acquisition, and post-production. Experimentation and conceptual originality are encouraged through rigorous assignments, projects and group critiques. within addition to the core studio classes are electives in video installation, alternative digital imaging processes, digital photography, and a survey of experimental cinema.
