Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

The purpose of this paper is for students to engage with creative practices that enable high quality, interactive media installations. Students will utilise practice-related methodologies to generate materials to convert into multimedia projects. It is expected that students reflect their own social, cultural, and political backgrounds. The paper adopts ideas and practices of the Situationist International movement to generate ideas and produce artworks that will be suitable for public exhibition.

MEDIA305 provides an opportunity for students to share their passion for photography, sound design, painting, moving image, etc. to produce a transmedia installation project. These works should be thought-provoking, inspiring, and challenging for viewers.
