Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
Murray talks about “information culture’s privileging of
the future at the expense, say, of what Deleuze calls cinema’s passing presents”. I wasn’t sure how to interpret this, so my question is more for clarification. Does he see the information technology’s ability to reach both into the past and future as something that keeps us from understanding and “mastering” the present moment?

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.
