Applying a historical lens to the development of media art in the 20th and 21st centuries, this studio will deliver a smash-and-grab re-telling of the development of Old and New Media. Zooming from early experimental movements like DaDa and Surrealism, to the new ‘anti-monumental’ artistic forms offered by Fluxus and Performance Art, and teleporting through to Streaming Performance and Post-Internet Art, this studio will be a nosebleed time-warp through artistic avant-gardes that have shaped our understanding of the world through the screen, body and hand. By applying a historical perspective to the creation of new works, this studio offers students fresh ground to create their own works informed by the deep historical legacies of earlier times.

We will attend exhibitions, screenings and talks where relevant and students can deliver final outcomes that may be short films, video art, mediated performances or exhibitions.
