Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
Hi everyone…here are the two texts that I’ll be drawing upon for next week’s presentation – I’m sending them via a Wetransfer link, as the blog didn’t seem to want to upload them directly (blame it on the blog). I’d suggest reading the intro to the Labelle book, which provides a good overview of where he’s coming from, and chapter 4 in the Voegelin (Time and Space).

Wed, September 27 2017 » Future Cinema
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.
