60-477 Advanced DP3: Static Cinema (Anachronisms)

10 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course will explore Anachronistic time, focusing on archetypes of immortality, the undead, androids, and timetravel. We will consider the artist as an Anachronist, who uses all time at the same time, looking backwards and forwards simultaneously, and constantly. Using cinema as the base text, primary methods of making will be grounded in twodimensional drawing, painting and photography, but will remain open to expanded and hybrid methods of imagemaking, sculpture and installation. Relevant readings, and screenings of films that address the relationship between still and moving images will serve as guides, as well as numerous examples of contemporary artists who include issues of time and narrative into their practices.
