Students will articulate their own ideas of screen-based images through the lensed or lensless embodiment of discovery and experimentation. The assignment includes the following components:

Your proposal will sketch out the goals and motivation for your final research-creation project. The proposal provides an opportunity to receive feedback from your peers and professor on the direction of your project and should include:

  • A clear and succinct description of the project, precise information concerning the conceptual underpinnings of the work, as well as its formal and technical parameters. (4/10)
  • A bibliography of a minimum of 3 sources of readings that have guided your thinking so far AND/OR sources you intend to explore further. (2/10)
  • One or more visuals of like-minded projects. (2/10)

You will present a draft proposal to a breakout group of four (4) students via Zoom for peer review and feedback.
