This course introduces students to different processes used by the contemporary studio artist, with an emphasis on time-based and interdisciplinary forms of production. Students will be actively engaged in exploring a variety of skills, processes and concepts, in the development of video and audio art, artist multiples, and site-specific interventions. An understanding of the technical, theoretical, and historical concerns of experimental art practices will provide a solid base for upper level courses, where students will develop a stronger capacity to work with media that are appropriate to realize their ideas.
