Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
we have hired two student in vision research at York to code a MAX/MSP architecture that will work with fiducial-based tracking and solve the problem of multiple marker recognition — and in effect making it possibly for any artist familiar with or interested in max/msp to work i augmented reality. This is a Big Deal and will be released by the lab and the students jointly as open-source.

This course examines the shift from traditional cinematic spectacle to works probing the frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Drawing upon a broad range of scholarship, including film theory, communication studies, cultural studies and new media theory, the course will consider how digital technologies are transforming the semiotic fabric of contemporary visual culture. Our focus will be on the phenomenon Gene Youngblood described three decades ago as expanded cinema an explosion of the frame outward towards immersive, interactive and interconnected (i.e., environmental) forms of culture.
