Class Installation for Design, Art and Film

Analyzing the contemporary theories and practices of correlation between Artistic Installation strategies and Design is fundamental for today's students. From fictional design to expanded cinema, exploring experimental modes of filming, montage, installation, projection and presentation of images (still or in motion) in spaces such as the white cube (gallery / museum), the black box (cinema) or the specific site (public art, land art or intervention art) are gestures that enrich the study of this UC. Approach different systems of transformation and perception of three-dimensional spaces through the installation of works planned for this purpose, and experiment with different levels of interaction, from a simple reaction to a non-linear narrative, while building your own project using a series of concepts and techniques , translate into important creative and imagistic resources for the Design student.

- Installation and conceptual art: Theories and concepts of interactive installations - Approach to theoretical concepts of interaction - Installation art: The path of the installation in the artistic field -Fictional design: from the formal, material and optical exploration of Yayoi Kusama, to the typographic and numerical experimentation of Robert Indiana; of Emmanuelle Moureaux, to the behavioural analysis of teamLab; -Expanded cinema: cinematic exploration in installation: from Jeffrey Shaw to Bill Viola. -Video art: Technological, socio-political and cultural conditions that led to the use of video for artistic purposes; - Analysis of immersion (Virtual Reality), video, sound, materials, real/virtual dichotomy (Augmented Reality), in the conception and exploration of the installation space. 

The creative methodologies used invest in the use of disruptive strategies, introducing new ways of looking at the contents. Thus, the pedagogical design follows a line of thought with the aim of creating an articulated relationship between thinking, feeling and doing, reorganizing the order of these three elements into new geometries whenever possible. From a specific context (story, challenge, brief, etc.) students are compelled to develop attitudes and behaviors in a project or laboratory mode, aiming to work on skills and curricular content in a dynamic and interactive way, mobilizing the student's different abilities and their different types of knowledge. Some methodologies involve the introduction of creative challenges (use of objects, images, sounds or people, events or actions), creation of artifacts (production of analogue/other micro-devices, graphic and written diaries, cartography), use of the body (expression body).
