* To provide an introduction to a study and ecology of media, exploring digital photographic image, audio and video.
* To understand and to problematize the transforming role of media along the process of communication;
* To understand and to problematize the role of the physical apparatus within the process of experiencing media, questioning its formal, operative, and aesthetic features.
At the end of the semester the students will have accomplished an informal contact with digital image, sound and video, a study that will be further developed in subsequent course units of a more specific nature.
* Fundamental understanding of the formal traits of the photographic digital image, audio and video, taking into account their sociocultural manifestations;
* Fundamental understanding of the audiovisual contract;
* Fundamental understanding the relationship between these media (audio and image) and the physical apparatuses that support them;
* Development of generic technical skills for recording, producing and editing, sequencing and sampling image and sound.
The program of Media class is distributed into three modules. Focusing on the production and manipulation of sound and image, the following analog and digital media will be introduced: 1) Photography, 2) Audio, 3) Video. Students will produce practical exercises of an experimental nature corresponding to each class module, regarding the specificities and characteristics of each media and the respective apparatuses they depend on.
Presentation, analysis and discussion of relevant materials in order to establish a permanent discussion forum within the workgroup.
The classroom will be organized according to a laboratorial structure for the development of design projects. Thereby, will be set in place the idea of the creative lab as a space of experimentation and exploration, where, collectively, students will develop class projects in order to implement scientific contents and consolidate technical skills.
