66-6752 Excavating the Image

The proliferation of digital image capture technologies has complicated the notion of the camera. This course examines CCD/CMOS and related image capture technologies as the site for creative inquiry and investigation; it emphasizes the artist’s role as the organizer of optics that collect and focus light to form images that may be digitally captured or sampled. Image editing and output technologies will be discussed. Readings will introduce prominent theorists and concepts critical for integrating images within an interdisciplinary art practice.
