ATS3949 · Emerging medias lab

Overview

The Emerging medias lab is a multi-disciplinary learning environment where students from the different specialisations in the Bachelor of Media Communication come together to investigate new media technologies, production skills and practices. The unit takes a broad approach to emerging media to explore the landscape, technologies and practice of contemporary media-making. Throughout the semester you will devise and create a major media work that explores and tests the capabilities of emergent media production technologies. The lab will foster your creativity and experimentation in media production, while supporting the development of professional skills in collaboration and adaptability in the face of technological change.
