The Transforming Image | Wintersession 2026 Syllabus
Hunter Whitaker-Morrow and Movement Lab
This studio course engages the contemporary digital moving (and sounding) image as a medium undergoing rapid development. Advancing the exploratory ethos of early video art, participants will probe new possibilities for experimentation against the contemporary backdrop of ubiquitous access to smartphones and production capabilities as well as the proliferation of tools for digital signal manipulation, media recycling, and image sequencing.
Coursework will center on a variety of hands-on creative exercises that challenge predominant conceptions of the moving image and engage with medium-specific approaches including video installation, desktop performance, generative cinematics, recycling media, realtime audio-visual performance, and notions of digital materiality. As the course progresses, focus will shift toward open-ended project development and in-class critiques.
In addition to considering how traditional editing software can be employed experimentally, participants will be introduced to a range of digital tools intended to open new avenues for their own practices. Significant class time will also be spent viewing and discussing boundary-pushing work by established artists to further ground an expanded understanding of this medium in flux.
