Audio-Visual Sculpture Prof. Fabian Winkler Since the beginning of video art in the early 1960s, electronic images and sounds have always had a physical dimension linked to the devices necessary for their playback. Artist such as Nam June Paik, Gary Hill or Mary Lucier directly addressed the sculptural qualities of the medium video in their works creating hybrid sculptures and installations. Almost simultaneously, experiments in "Expanded Cinema" used projected images on three-dimensional structures to break with the tradition of the planar projection screen and to establish new relationships between physical objects, images and sounds. Audio-Visual Sculpture critically investigates the history of video sculpture and artistically explores the merging of audiovisual content with three-dimensional form. The course tries to develop an understanding of electronic images and sounds not as simulations but as objects - anchored in physical space. Student work will focus on the new opportunities and possibilities in video sculpture through digital video and sound production, computer aided manufacturing, inexpensive digital playback and recording devices and the creative use of database-driven video and sound.
