PROJECT 3 MULTI CHANNEL INSTALLATION 20 Grade points
Video art often defines itself in terms of how it is NOT television. One method is the "multi-channel installation", meaning a single art piece consisting of several (more or less) synchronized video streams in a room. We will install a 2-3-projection situation, in which each projection is in a different direction (like the inside of a cube). The Rules: create 2-3 separate videos of the same length on 2-3 DVD's that best take advantage of this presentation format. We can play the videos synchronized up hopefully to about 1 or 2 frames accuracy. 8 points of your grade is process/12 product. Start thinking about ideas.

PROJECT 4: PERSONAL PROJECT 20 Grade points
This is your chance to make a really great video piece (or several smaller ones) with a creative signature. You should focus on making this project stand out, be unique, challenging to the viewer, invent new methods or re-apply old ones. They should use alternative methods of display, such as installation, projection, multi-channel (several videos working in synch), inter-activity on web or DVD, sculpture, abstraction, propaganda, etc.
