Timeless: Selected works from ART375 Moving Image
Single Shot
Using Haroun Farocki’s concept of Labor in a Single Shot, students composed a single shotvideo. No cuts were allowed. The subject of investigation was ‘labor:‘ paid and unpaid, material and immaterial, rich in tradition or altogether new, investigating how to film the choreography ofworkflow in one single shot in the best and most interesting way?
Rules to Play By
In this project students produced a series of five short videos that are between 15 sec to 30 seconds in length each, exploring the creative possibility of a series. You can also see mor examples of this project on the screen in the lobby of the DuBois Library.
Time Re-mapping
Students were tasked with exploring the experience of time and duration in moving images. The projects challenge how time is traditionally represented in video structurally and conceptually.
