Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
This is an absolutely beautiful short movie you might all really enjoy. Give yourselves a 10 minute break and enjoy it. http://www.vimeo.com/3365942
I think it especially speaks wonders to the ideas of presence, aura, and MR in this week’s readings…

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.

It’ really lovely. maybe we could try to get some effects like that using snapdragon’s new alpha blending feature… it iht alo provide som inspiration or the invisible cities assignment. the way the character ‘grew’ the buildings alo reminded me of an early vr cave app — cavepainting… maybe ill be able to find a reference to that project and share it with the class.
