Media Translations: From Analogue Film to Immersive Narratives

About

This workshop deals with the aesthetic and political possibilities of translating creative ideas between media materialities. We will develop a series of experiments that begin in analogue media yet mutate constantly as the analogue media is manipulated using the different image and sound technologies. In this process, we will turn to artistic research methods that can aid the design, implementation and documentation of transmedia projects. The workshop invites participants to address their own positioning in relation to the technologies they use, exploring the narrative potential of their practice.
During the workshop, we will navigate diverse media surfaces as platforms for expanding our sensemaking processes in our hypertechnified world. Through grounded experimentation, we will question the technological programs that trick us into burying supposedly obsolete technologies. Incorporating radical imagination, critical inquiry and performative activations as strategies for media design and implementation, we will reach a collective expanded cinema installation at the end of the workshop composed by fragments of the participants' projects, using analogue projection, immersive video and other techniques that will illustrate some of the questions, provocations and ideas brought forward by the group’s sensibilities
