Unsettling Dolls

Geoff’s feducial doll made me think about the tenancy for artists to create animal/human hybrid forms. Geoff said that his doll was to be calming, and I tend to agree with (I think it was) Caitlin who said that it left a sort of unsettled feeling. Please follow the following link to see dolls created in human forms out of animal parts; I think they have a very similar presence to Geoff’s doll.

Future Cinema – 2015

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.
