Title of Module: Moving Image & Time-based Art

Code: DAAD09011 SCQF Level: 9
(Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework)		 Credit Points: 20 ECTS: 10
(European Credit Transfer Scheme)
School:School of Business & Creative Industries
Module Co-ordinator:Dr Rachael  Flynn

Summary of Module

Contemporary artworks that include video, film, moving image, performative elements, audio, or computer technologies are referred to as time-based works because they have duration as a dimension and unfold to the viewer over time.

The purpose of this module is to enable students to develop their own creative vision as they consider the potentials of time, durational elements and new technologies as part of their artmaking practices. Students will discover ways to express their own voices and ideas within a range of time-based media, digital technologies, audio-visual formats, and space-based installations.

Students will work on an individual project, involving personal studio-based, and/or site-specific activity.

Through online workshops, seminars, and tutorials, students will meet throughout the module to critically engage with each other’s work, and participate in shared discussions informed by the various stages of their ongoing creative work.

This activity will allow the student to produce creative work which involves moving image and time-based art modes.

Alongside practical and applied skills development, students will achieve an increased contextual understanding and critical awareness of key practitioners and artworks which have drawn on such creative and technologically informed modes. This will allow students to realise the future potential of their own work as part of this developing creative landscape.
