CMNS3490: Experimental Media

Semester 1 - 2024

OVERVIEW

Course Description

Experimental media provides an opportunity to explore new tools and techniques to enhance your existing creative practice and explore new possibilities of creative expression. This is a handson course that takes the form. of a studio lab. It promotes collaboration with others across disciplines and also with a variety of new or repurposed technologies. In the last 50 years, interactions between technology and humans have profoundly changed culture and society, producing new ways of story telling. This has also inspired completely new mediums and environments for creative expression such as immersive caves, extended reality, drone light shows and interactive installations. This course will establish a theoretical framework for understanding key critical debates and concepts in experimental media making, examining case studies of seminal innovations, before proceeding to teach best practice techniques and processes to explore your own ideas. The sky is not the limit.

SYLLABUS

Course Content

Topics will include:

1. New and repurposed (hacked) technology for creative expression and storytelling;

2. Examination of contemporary experimental media practice;

3. Virtual production, Data visualisation and real-time content generation;

4. Prototyping tools and techniques;

5. Social and cultural significance of experimental media practice;

6. Aspects of theory concerning innovation, experimental and media labs.

Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Analyse and critique contemporary examples of experimental media practice;

2. Demonstrate experimental media making through developing a creative outcome;

3. Self-reflection and evaluation of experimental process from idea to prototype

Assessment 1 - Critical Analysis of Experimental Media

Assessment Type

Presentation

Purpose

Presentation

Description

Individuals will briefly present a concept for an experimental media work which shows relevance to the course work presented so far. The student should frame. the work in a way that highlights their existing creative practice and how they plan to experiment with the form. The presentation should focus on the process rather than the outcome. Examples of experimental media projects will be provided as the source of inspiration and to show the conceptual underpinnings. The slides will be uploaded afterwards with clear references to the literature or other media sources.

Assessment 2 - Planning and Prototyping

Assessment Type

Tutorial / Laboratory Exercises

Purpose

Portfolio

Description

Students will undertake and then demonstrate playful and experimental prototypes over a series of tutorials and workshops. Students will evidence this prototyping process in an annotated folio of photo, video, graphical, or interactive examples. The examples will be brought together in a written response articulating the purpose and findings of each experiment, the student's contribution to a group (if applicable), and the plans for progressing the project into a whole integrated prototype.

Assessment 3 - Integration

Assessment Type

Tutorial / Laboratory Exercises

Purpose

Practical Demonstration

Description

Students will refine their experimentation by demonstrating key areas of core functionality and integration required for the realisation of an experimental media project. The demonstration will not need to show a completed functional prototype, but it will serve as a proof-of-concept for the final project. Students will reflect on their process in a short written response to be uploaded to Canvas. Responses will discuss the successes and failures with reference to the next steps and final target.

Assessment 4 - Final Project

Assessment Type

Project

Purpose

Project

Description

The final output for this project will take the form. of a presentation and demonstration of an experimental media project in the form. of a fully functional prototype. The prototype should reflect both theoretical and practical skills learnt through the semester. The students will be able to discuss the successes and failures in the work, their individual process or contribution to a group effort.
