|
Show Details
Hide Details |
| 3 credits. Reed. Offered occasionally. With the availability of newly affordable consumer video technology in the 1980's, a simple yet powerful tool emerged in the form of the video diary. This approach, responding to the radical objectivity of Cinéma Vérité and informed by controversial subjectivity of New Journalism, quickly gained popularity as artists sought to record their own perspectives as well as to place them in a larger social and historical context. In this course we will look at early as well as more contemporary video diarists, including the work of Sadie Benning, George Kuchar, Chris Marker, Agnès Varda, Michael Moore and others. Students will also produce their own video diaries. |
