教学目标 Course Objectives

在本课程中，学生将学习基于时间的数字媒体分析和制作的基础。本课程在“从摇篮到摇篮”和循环经济的框架下，探讨

如何在数字媒体中重复使用和回收现有材料。学生将考虑现实情况，寻找需要产生基于时间的、无形的数字媒体体验的设

计机会。除了学习数字媒体编辑的基础知识外，学生还将参与英语课堂讨论，并以个人和小组为单位工作，学习分析已有

的数字媒体体验，并完成有挑战性的作业以制造属于他们自己的创意数字媒体体验。

技能：转化构想，重复使用

设备：学生将使用电脑软件学习

课堂外活动：课程中，学生将多次离开教室，进行小型实地考察、声音捕捉以及在户外视频拍摄

In this course, students will learn the foundations of time-based digital media analysis and production. Using the

framework of ‘cradle to cradle’ and circular economies, this course will ask how reusing and recycling of pre-existing

materials might look like in digital media. Students will consider real-world situations for opportunities of design that

require the production of time-based, intangible digital media experiences. In addition to receiving the basics of digital

media editing, students will engage in English-language classroom discussion, they will work both individually and in

groups, they will learn to analyze pre-existing digital media experiences, and they will receive demanding assignments to

produce their own creative digital media experiences.

Skills: translational envisioning; reuse

Equipment: we will work in software with computers

Outside of classroom activities: we will leave the classroom several times in this course, for small field trips, for capturing

field recordings (sound) and for video shootings in the outdoors

预达学习成果 Learning Outcomes

在本课程结束时，学生将能够：

1. 描述出跨媒体和感官材料的“废弃”、“过时”和“陈腐”，尤其是无形的和基于时间的材料。

2. 展示对基于时间的数字媒体的“循环经济”的理解，包括合成、重复使用、回收、参考、引用和盗用之间的差异。

3. 定义基于时间的数字媒体中的材料/素材和过程/中介之间的区别。

4. 对在多种无形材料之间协助“转换”概念的技术进行研究并做展示。

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

1. Describe ‘waste,’ ‘obsolete,’ and ‘decayed’ for materials across media and senses, in particular for intangible

and time-based materials.

2. Demonstrate understanding of ‘circular economies’ for time-based digital media, including the differences

between synthesizing, reusing, recycling, referencing, citing, and appropriating.

3. Define the difference between material/footage and process/mediation in time-based digital media.

4. Present research of techniques that ‘translate’ ideas between multiple intangible materials.

this is a team teaching or module course.)

Week

Content

Lecture (4 hours)

Topic: Time

- Welcome and course overview

- Introduction: time-based digital media

- Definitions and conversation: digital media, time, time-based

Practice (4 hours)

- Small exercise: create time. Arrange given media objects on a timeline in software

- Present a 30sec media clip to the class, describe your process, define ‘time’ by describing

your media clip

Lecture (4 hours)

Topic: Experience I

- Introduction: capturing an experience, recording and filming, image and sound

- Examples: film, video and sound history, media arts history

- Definition and conversation: experience, perception, immersion, senses

Practice (4 hours)

- Small field trip: capture an experience outdoors on campus in groups of two. Record sound,

and record image. Put sound and image together without any further editing; create an

experience that has no cuts and no other editing than matching sound and image

- Present a 30sec digital media product to the class

Lecture (4 hours)

Topic: Circular Economies: Material and Process

- Introduction: reuse of existing materials, reprocess

- Definitions and conversation: material, footage, process, mediation

Practice (4 hours)

- Small exercise: collect pre-existing images and sounds. Categorize, archive, and describe

your materials. Then, rearrange, recombine, remix and reprocess the materials in software

- Present a 30sec clip to the class

Lecture (4 hours)

Topic: Waste

- Introduction: waste, obsolete and decayed materials in time-based digital media

- Definitions and conversation: waste, recycling, reuse, referencing, citing, appropriating

Practice (4 hours)

- Small field trip: collect digital waste. Then, create a digital media experience (with image and

sound) that explains and defines what ‘waste’ means to you. Choose and apply one of these

concepts to your digital media experience: recycling, reusing, referencing, citing, or

appropriating

- Present a 30sec clip to the class

- Interim review

Lecture (4 hours)

Topic: Synthesis

- Introduction: synthesis as a technique to process materials, in digital image and sound

production

- Definition and conversation: synthesis

Practice (4 hours)

- Small exercise: create one sound that changes slowly over time. Then, create one image that

changes slowly over time, then put the two coincidentally together.

- Present short media clip to the class

Lecture (4 hours)

Topic: Translation I: Sound and Image

- Introduction: translate from old to new. Translate from sound to image. Translate ideas.

Translate experiences

- Definition and conversation: translation

Practice (4 hours)

- Small exercise: create a storyboard for a translation process in sound and image.

- Present the storyboard to the class

Lecture (4 hours)

Topic: Translation II: Space, spatial experience

- Introduction: how do we experience space through digital media? Techniques for creating

spaces in sound and image. Reuse, recycle, reprocess and remix spaces in digital media

- Definition and conversation: space

Practice (4 hours)

- Work on final project: apply everything that you have learned so far in this course and create

a spatial experience based on a circular economy of footage. Length: between 5 – 10 min.

Lecture (4 hours)

Topic: Experience II

- Conclusion: how has our understanding of ‘experience’ changed at the end of this course?

- Discussion: experience and circular economies

Practice (4 hours)

- Final presentation

- Course feedback
