The Digital revolution has created far reaching changes in audio-visual creation (film, TV, video-art, multimedia and new media). The seminar will discuss the peculiar aesthetic of these emergent forms as it pertains to the characteristics of computer mediated art, particularly focusing upon different paradigms that have been offered for issues of hyper-narrativity and interaction. Issues such as narrative, space, time, movement, character and composition will be discussed in light of new digital aesthetic hypotheses (Sobchack, Wolf), focusing in particular on the notion of “interactive cinema” (Manovich, Kinder, Murray, Brooks, Davenport, Bates).
