- Beginning - Middle - End = 'viewer' experienced linearly through time
- Photography captures a moment in time, ie. 1/500th of a second but like video is still a span of time (considering you can take an image at 1/4000 of a second)
* this may be why Flickr will allow video on their website up to 90 seconds long. They call it a long exposure.
The Virtuality Continuum is a phrase used to describe a concept that there is a continuous scale ranging between the completely virtual, a Virtual Reality, and the completely real:Reality. The reality-virtuality continuum therefore encompasses all possible variations and compositions of real and virtualobjects. The concept was first introduced by Paul Milgram.
Reality<-------------->Virtual Reality
The area between the two extremes, where both the real and the virtual are mixed, is the so-called Mixed reality. This in turn is said to consist of both Augmented Reality, where the virtual augments the real, and Augmented virtuality, where the real augments the virtual.
It is an overview on creating art considering the 4th & 5th dimensions.
Is this a 'computer class'?
No. Although we will definitely be using your laptops for class, this course focuses on how ALL art mediums interact with these two dimensions.
* this area of art crosses over many areas so therefore has many names. some of the more popular names are: Digital Art, Inter-Media, Hybred Media & Digital Media Arts
Can you name an art medium that has not intersected with the computer?
Is there a lab fee like in all my other classes?
Yes. It is $50 and it gets charged to your account.
How does this class work?
This class is run through 2 websites, this blog and a Facebook group. You are expected to visit both frequently. I generally update the blog within 12 hours of class, Facebook gets updated as is needed.
The blog contains all the information related to the class including links to examples, a blog on what will be covered each class, the syllabus, project details and links to useful websites.
The Facebook group will be used for important updates and deadlines and will have examples and other connections useful to the class.
