Intermedia Workshop
Integrated Media Project

  1. The first project is an opportunity to explore the collaborative process, keep the projects simple and doable in two weeks.
  2. Integrated media - The underlying concept of the workshop is to explore the relationship between sound and image through collaboration between musicians and visual artists. We have been looking at many examples of integrated media, in which the various sound and visual elements are combined into a single work. This requires a unifying idea, or set of ideas, that relate the two together, such that there is a conceptual framework that bridges the two distinct worlds of sound and visual media.
  3. Each team member will come into the group with very different experience, approaches, and ideas. It is your objective in the integrated media project to learn how to synthesize your ideas into a single concept that breaks down into its constituent parts that can be realized by each collaborator. This is perhaps the most challenging notion: how to create a piece that is multi-perspectival, that is, represents the unique view of each artist working on the project, but still operates as a single, integrated work, that represents the team's perceptive as a whole.
  4. On 2/16, we will have critique. Make sure you are prepared to show the work by insuring that all the technical issues have been through through. Also be prepared to talk about your working process, how you synthesized your ideas, altered them according to the input of each individual, in order to arrive at the final result.
