Dis/orientation in Spatial Sound Composition and Expanded Image
MSR4112.01) (cancelled 5/6/2024
Course Description
Summary
This course will be based on Sara Ahmed’s theories on orientation and dis/orientation and her questioning of “What do such moments of disorientation tell us? What do they do, and what can we do with them?” The course will focus on finding recipes for the concept of dis/orientation using immersive audio technologies and expanded images and will focus on materializing the texts that are written by Black and queer feminist scholars/artists. The students will produce time-based and performative audiovisual pieces that utilize spatial audio and expanded images as compositional methods.Prerequisites
