Blade Runner and summer reading

For anyone that wants to do some summer reading around the issues broached in Blade Runner and in this class throughout the semester Boris Groys' book Art Power is relevant. The chapter 'Art in the Age of Biopolitics: From Artwork to Art Documentation' makes explicit reference to Ridley Scott's film.

Roy Arden's image blog is worth a look

This might be particularly relevant in light of our recent project to do with channels.

Some of you might find this artist's work interesting. He is known
for working from an idea of data visualization using keywords that
generate abstract pictures.

The MFA Photography, Video, and Related Media Department at the School of Visual Arts announces an intensive, four-week summer engagement for professional photographers, filmmakers, and artists to develop their creative visions with new camera technology.  A new discipline is developing in the lens and screen arts. With technological advances in still and moving imagery, professionals no longer work solely in the traditional divisions of photography and video. High-definition, video-capable DSLR cameras have transformed the conventional image and enabled us to create professional-quality films. While still and moving imagery may be produced with the same set of tools, each requires very different approaches and practices. The still photography practitioner must understand the language of the moving image, and vice versa.  Available for four undergraduate credits, this summer residency program will introduce video to photographers in four areas: TECHNIQUE: This component of the residency addresses the technical issues of making moving images. It will include instruction for using equipment and production methods as well as editing and post-production workflow. Technical assistance provided by FotoCare. CONCEPTUAL: Senior faculty members Charles Traub and Grahame Weinbren will hold a twice-weekly seminar on the theory and history of the lens arts. Lectures include The End of Indexicality, The Digital Challenge, Stillness in Cinema, Motion in Photography, Narrative and Abstraction, and Composition and Editing.  CRITIQUE: Residents will attend two critique sessions per week, one led by core faculty and one led by a visiting critic. Critics will be in the form of artists, curators and other faculty from the department.  LECTURE: Twice a week, the residents with gather together for a lecture and a screening in the department. The screenings will consist of rare films and videos discussed in the conceptual module of the program. Lecturers will be in the form of artists, curators, industry professionals and directors.  The program will conclude with a screening of the participants' work created during this four-week session. Summer Residency runs July 6th-August 3rd, 2011. Registration deadline is Friday, April 1st, 2011.
