4D intro

This module explores the impact of digital media technologies on traditional video, film, and audio-visual presentation forms. Through practical group/individual production work students develop projects which explore the new temporal opportunities opened up by interactive multimedia technologies, such as digital television, streaming media, and video on demand.

“The experience of space and time have imploded and become fused by speed. As a consequence of this implosion we are witnessing a distinct reversal of the two dimensions, a temporalisation of space and a spatialisation of time. We live increasingly in a perpetual present, flattened by speed and simultaneity, and grasped by instantaneous perceptions of the eye. The only sense that is fast enough to keep pace with the astounding increase in the technological world is sight. But the world of the eye is threatening to turn into the flat world of the present.”
