Using The Film Sense, written by film director Sergei Eisenstein as a prompt, the intention of this course is to create space for experimentation and exploratory discussion and productions via aesthetic inquiry into perceptions of all senses. Testing various ways aesthetic forms and their shifts — historic and contemporary — have relations to still emerging contemporary subjectivities (felt emotion in a human body), we will study productions created by participants, case studies of varied producers, and generate new work individually and/or collaboratively via diverse media explorations (reading, writing, drawing, publishing, photographic, cinematic, spatial, audio operations and productions) in this workshop/seminar.

Permission by the instructor is required for undergraduates.
