Contemporary photographic culture is dened by its ubiquity and scale: every second, billions of images are uploaded online; new cameras promise to capture the world in greater resolution and detail, beyond what is perceptible by the human eye. At the same time, artists are working with photography in new ways: large-scale photographic prints and installations and public interventions have replaced the small, enframed prints which populated Gallery walls only a few decades ago. This course will explore a range of methodological, political and aesthetic issues arising from these shifts in image culture. Through a series of practical projects, students will work the dynamics of visibility and size in photography from the pixel to the gigapixel, and the logistics of exhibiting large scale photographic works - from the print to screen. Students will engage in a process of investigation, and will individually research the contexts and concepts relevant to their projects.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- utilise a range of skills relevant to the discipline in response to Workshop projects;
- analyse and explore materials and processes used in Workshop briefs;
- apply concepts and techniques to the development of resolved works of art; and
- critically evaluate the relationship between concept and process in their work.
