Altered machineries for cinema and other creative industries

Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory.jpg

Thematic seminar by Florian Cramer, with guest teaching by Aymeric Mansoux. In collaboration with the applied research center Creating 010, Hogeschool Rotterdam. April 10th – June 26th, 2012.

Introduction

Within the arts and media, the industry paradigm has been strongest and most developed in cinema, for technological and economic reasons. Yet we live in contradictory times: On the one hand, policymakers – particularly in this country – want the notion of creative industries to supersede the established notions of arts and media. On the other hand, the industry paradigm is shaken by contemporary shifts in the so-called “creative” sector: globalized labor and informal, temporary project-oriented networks replacing bureaus and studios, and last not least the means of (media) production that have become consumer/prosumer technology. In cinema, this development is very recent and disruptive: The factory is in a crisis, aside from always having been challenged and revised – on smaller levels – by the DIY, underground, hacker and porn fringes of cultural production.

If former fringe modes of production shape today's creative industries, what is replacing the factory? Other kinds of factories, like those of Andy Warhol, or – recently – Michel Gondry, or those in Silicon Valley and Lagos instead of Hollywood? What are the hidden machineries and formulas of alternative production methods? If we reset the machinery, literally and metaphorically, will it just return to its default values?

Subjects

  • Magic Lanterns & Personal Views: DSLR cinema & camera hacking
  • Be Kind Rewind: Michel Gondry's Home Movie Factory and other participatory formulas
  • Screen tests: the Warhol Factory, underground film, film co-ops, video activism, DIY Labs
  • Poetics of fan fiction: machinima, game mods, Star Wars Uncut.
  • No budget creative industries: situationist film, dub music, exploitation films, Nollywood

These will be cross-examined with two areas of reading and research:

  • Poetics of participation: Oulipo constraints, narratologies, handbooks and other formulas
  • The discourse of the creative industries: Adorno/Horkheimer, Richard Florida, Chuck Kleinhans, Topteam Creatieve Industrie Nederland

Requirements for obtaining credits

  • full attendance of the project, active participation in discussions;
  • a reading journal on the course Wiki with at least five entries, each on one text/film/media project discussed in the seminar;
  • the design and working prototype of a 'factory' – a system, medium or methodology that helps others create an (artistic) product while reflecting upon its own constraints.
  • the Trimester Project report completed for your work.

14 prototypes for creative industry factories

Nederlands

De Creatieve Industrie is één van de snelst groeiende sectoren van de Nederlandse economie. Naast de initiële creatie – het creëren van vorm, betekenis of symbolische waarde – is in deze topsector de kern van de activiteiten ook de manier waarop zij die activiteiten vormgeven: het creatieve innovatieproces. Als topsector gaat het om bedrijven die hun bestaansreden vinden in creativiteit, innovatie en ondernemerschap.

De masteropleiding Media Design van het Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academie Hogeschool Rotterdam presenteert 14 prototypes van fabrieken voor de productie van film, beeld, sociale netwerken en design voor het verstrekken van inspiratie en investeringsmogelijkheden voor alle bezoekers.

English

The creative industries are among the fast growing sectors of the Dutch economy. Aside from the creation of form, meaning or symbolic value, the core activities in this top sector concern the way in which these very activities are being designed - the creative innovation process. This top sector revolves around companies that are founded upon creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Media Design Masters program of the Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academie Hogeschool Rotterdam presents 14 prototypes of factories for the production of film, images, social networks and design, providing inspiration and investment opportunities for all visitors.
