Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
Our discussion today reminded me of this blog about The Sims. It’s a silly illustration of how game systems or logic might (not) translate into real life: http://justsimthings.tumblr.com/
And I wanted to share this post that illustrates the let’s say “uneven” experience of surveillance, whatever the technology: http://mic.com/articles/120461/best-mc-kinney-police-sean-toon-911-tweets?utm_source=policymicTBLR&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=social

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.
