Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
When reading Augmented Human: How Technology is Shaping the New Reality, I was most struck by the passage on pages 96 – 98 that talked about Eternime (link:<http://eterni.me>), which essentially is a way of archiving people after they are dead. As such, I was wondering if we could ponder the ethical and ontological implications of such preservation?

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.
