# BEGIN MACHINIMA SYLLABUS:
/// MACHINIMA.FVNM
//
// MACHINIMA.DVR
we will be [discussing/developing] Machinima projects as hystorically rooted
+ socioeconomically situated screen based experimental media art. these
hystories + theorypractices will be [discussed/developed] w/perspectives
that include early cinema to Film Art to Video Art to New Media. these domains
[+/or] fields of artistic activity will be considered as technosocial +
{digital|network}-culture specific [codes/concepts/constructs] that can
+ will be effected by you + your work as artists.

// MACHINIMA.SYS
participants will be expected to use systems [demonstrated/discussed] in
class, imagine + implement their own uses of these systems in the development
of Machinima works, pieces + projects. the [technologies/systems] [demonstrated/discussed]
will incl various forms of Machinima projects (i.e. Fake Science), games
(i.e. Half-Life, DOOM, Quake, etc) + freely available tools + systems (i.e.
Machinima Production Kit).
these [technologies/systems] + others should all be considered during the
creation of work to be critiqued, performed + played during class meetings.

// RE: MACHINIMA
students will follow self directed + determined research paths, develop
journals, blog, diaries, sketchbooks +/or other such self-documenting praxis
during the semester. in the case of digital praxis such as blogs, vlogs,
etc students will make the URIs of these sites known to the class. in the
case of analog or physical practices, students will make these available
to me for review @ my request.

|
// MACHINIMA.EVAL
we will critique, perform, play, inhabit + render all Machinima projects
throughout the semester. i will address projects + students individually
throughout the semester. we will sustain a continued conversation about
all projects, systems, games, readings, screenings + skill sets. all participants
will be constantly evaluated on their participation in these ongoing + sustained
efforts.

// MACHINIMA.CTRB
contribution by all participants to all aspects of the course is not only
required but is the basis by which the development of the course as a social
space of artistic experimentation, exchange + creation is made possible.

// MACHINIMA.PRM
class will meet every THURS from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM, w/a 01 hour break for
nutrients, with the exception of Graduate Critique Week.
// MACHINIMA.DAY
every day in Machinima will be divided in the following manner
// MACHINIMA.DAY -> AM
//
// MACHINIMA.DAY -> AM -> ART.SYST
Machinima projects + artware applications + systems will be displayed, discussed
+ demonstrated.
// MACHINIMA.DAY -> AM -> NFO.EXCH
systems [demonstrated/discussed] in class, participants imagine + implement
their own uses of these systems [+/or] develop their own artware applications
+ systems.
// MACHINIMA.DAY -> PM
//
// MACHINIMA.DAY -> PM -> NFO.EXCH
information exchange on systems continues after a midday break for nutrients.
// MACHINIMA.DAY -> PM -> SYS.PLAY
systems (including those [demonstrated/discussed] earlier, freely available
[+/or] developed by participants) will played + critiqued by participants.

// MACHINIMA.FWX
participants in Machinima must work w/in frameworks. frameworks are not
assignments. frameworks occur in the life of an artist, assignments occur
in the life of a student. the following frameworks will be mapped to specific
chronological events on the Machinima calendar.
collaborative efforts in the realization of MACHINIMA.FWX are strongly encouraged.
// MACHINIMA.FWX -> ENVIRITRON.MCH
consider the construction of synthetic environments. how do cinematic spaces
spread, influence, inform [+/or] infect 01 another? map this cinematic space,
cartographically detailing potential events that could occur in your Machinima
projects.
// MACHINIMA.FWX -> TIMEBASE.SPC
who exists in these time based spaces? what activities, cycles, loops, paths,
trajectories, arcs, branches [+/or] frustrations contextualize their existences?
render world views of time based spaces + their inhabitants for your Machinima
projects.// MACHINIMA.FWX -> INTERVENE.SYS
intervene in an existing situation [+/or] simulation. redirect view points.
articulate an alternative, experimental [+/or] previously unknown position
through your Machinima projects.
