Course Objectives:

In this course, we will survey the histories, ideologies, and aesthetics of mixed media performance and art.  We will look at written texts, online works, and local exhibitions and installations.  We will also sample some films and experimental videos.  This is a practice/theory course; thus, the reading and writing for this course will be balanced with a small media project related to your interests.

Assignments/projects:

Discussion participation and generation

paper reflecting on a course theme or work

Small (not nec. digital!) media project  (can be in progress…more to come)
