A still from an experimental video piece by Ryan Dean-Corke

What is this module about?

Digital media practitioners work in the quintessential postmodern medium. Their work is fragmentary, eclectic, transient, reproducible, multi-authorial and democratic: the accusation often made against them is that they rely on technology to produce an easy and aesthetically impressive solution to a rigid brief. In this module, it is hoped that you will discover that this assertion is not true.

This module interrogates your preconceptions of your identity as a practitioner and encourages you to experiment freely with ideas realised in the digital domain, unconstrained by an adherence to concepts of narrative, message and a rigid, commercially-orientated brief. By gaining the confidence to experiment, to push the boundaries of your thinking and practice outside your safe zone, to work courageously, departing from formulaic solutions, your conventional practice will be more likely to gain depth, originality and individuality.
