Unit Summary<\/p>\n
In this Unit we are asking you to consider your visual world: one f<\/span>\u180e<\/span>illed with clickable, interactive, time based, and temporal digital information, stories, opinions, and persuasions.<\/span><\/p>\n Students will begin to see possibilities in their own work as they practice being persuasive and effective communicators and manipulators of visual language.<\/span><\/p>\n Learning Objectives<\/p>\n Protocol \/ Schedule<\/p>\n [Week 1]<\/span><\/p>\n Work in groups of 3 (ideally). Work together, and through discussion and analysis develop an understanding of the formal and thematic language of Adam Curtis\u2019s f\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u180eilm <\/span>HyperNormalisation<\/span><\/i><\/a> and present your point of view to the whole class in 212 in one week. <\/span><\/p>\n DUE OCT 31 MONDAY<\/p>\n Using the f\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u180eilm as provocation and\/or inspiration, each team will create a f\u180eive-minute screen-based viewing experience to share with the whole class that establishes an argument and point-of-view (pov) around a particular issue drawn out of the f\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u180eilm. (you may use video, keynote, pdf, browser\/html etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n Consider how your presentation is a provocation \u2014 and how your team might employ such techniques as seen in the f\u00adilm, framing, collage, mise-en-sc\u00e8ne, sequence, juxtaposition, timing and sound, etc., in order to persuade your audience (us) around a particular issue that you want to address?<\/span><\/p>\n Key questions:<\/span><\/p>\n Deliverable: Each team will have exactly f\u180eive minutes <\/span>to perform<\/span> their presentations. Among other approaches, we encourage you to consider using screen-based media. Present to the entire class in 212 on Monday, October 31 at 1:10pm.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Persuade [Week 2-3]<\/span><\/p>\n Phase Two<\/span><\/p>\n Begin Monday Oct 31<\/span><\/p>\n Due Monday Nov 14 Nov. <\/span><\/p>\n Final project: 2 min (max) screen-based narrative.<\/span><\/p>\n The team activity was essentially a group effort of analyzing and comprehending the context: in this case Adam Curtis\u2019s f\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u180eilm. <\/span><\/p>\n The design from here shifts to students working individually to develop their own content stemming from phase one.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Consider <\/span>HyperNormalisation<\/span><\/i> as a system of sign and symbols<\/span><\/p>\n Where those elements can be adapted to your ideas and concepts or<\/span><\/p>\n Even your design can be built and constructed around sign and symbols.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Consider at the very basic level <\/span>HyperNormalisation\u2019s<\/span><\/i> questions while at the same time pointing out the systematic relation between economic, politics and technology.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014Consider the idea of the film\u2019s plot (events in the narrative) and the point of view and style in which the story is told, prior to proceeding with your concepts. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Start by identifying different elements of group finding and where your own personal interest is and how can interact with it or not.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Writ, sketch and storyboard your concepts, ideas and study can go further with the notion of screen based media (even as the simplest form of the slides presentations where images follows successively each other with a beginning and ending in real time. <\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 If you chose to combine or add sound to your image(s) consider the influence and role that (sound) can play and add to the overall impact of your design and movie,<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Consider the fundamental difference of 2D design (print media) with 3D and the presence of movement (even with slides presentation).<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Consider in your design is there a need to use Type and typography, with images and how they can work with each other?<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Your individual project can take a small component from the f\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u180eilm (such as a series of sequential still shots, a brief clip, or a collection of curated shots) and create a new \u201ccontent\u201d and new work that tells a story and express your own point of view and narrative. Also with the \u201dHypernormalisation\u201d experience it could<\/span><\/p>\n move to a new and different direction that has less relevance to it.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2014 Your final projects should illustrate a personal point of view. Create a narrative that is more appropriate to your interpretation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ResourcesFilm<\/span><\/p>\n HyperNormalistion<\/span><\/a> (MP4 file)<\/span><\/p>\n Reviews of <\/span>HyperNormalisation<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n The f\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u180eilms of Errol Morris<\/span><\/p>\n Reading \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Novel by Scott McCloud<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Visible Signs (Second Edition): An Introduction to Semiotics \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0in the Visual Arts by David Crow<\/span><\/p>\n Additional Inspiration \/ References<\/span><\/p>\n Michael Wallin, 1988 <\/span>Decodings<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n Real Fantasy, Prada, Fall 2012 <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Presidential Poetry Slam<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Immersion<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n ELIZA<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Perception Management<\/span><\/a> (wikipedia)<\/span><\/p>\n Dennis Cooper\u2019s GIF novels<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Dennis Cooper blog deleted by Google story<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Camille Henrot, Grosse Fatigue<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Sprawl<\/span><\/a> (Metahaven)<\/span><\/p>\n Oliver Laric, Versions<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Drumpf Insult Generator<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Embroidery web page<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Holly Herndon, Home<\/span><\/a> (Metahaven)<\/span><\/p>\n\n
