This module explores the history of platforms and the relation to scale, in terms of image size, audience size, networks, and economics. Looks critically at the myths & promises of immersion. Challenges participants to consider the impact of their chosen media and distribution to make work thats platform-specific.
Open question: is there a common subject that meeting 2 + 3 could work on? Maybe:
- Edwin Abbott's Flatland, Flatland
- Eames Powers of 10
