This concluding module aims to provoke informed re-appraisal of methodologies and practices previously studied, within the context of complete aesthetic events autonomously created from the principles of scenography and visual performance. The module provides a structure for the manifestation of such re-appraisal through the conception and articulation of two independently generated aesthetic events, both presented within the public domain. These solo works are intended to inform and reflect one another, and are developed in tandem, one within actual, the other within virtual, space. The module also facilitates a final drawing together of individual electronic folio material as transferable artistic artefacts and publishable documents of practice.
Content :
The content of the first three lecture/seminars will principally be determined and led by the course tutors and is intended to offer orientation for subsequent individual project work. These sessions will re-appraise methodologies and practices previously studied, within the context of aesthetic events autonomously motivated, determined and executed from principles of scenography and visual performance. Attention will also be drawn to the associated practices and procedures of time-based installation; electronic and digital time-based art; land and environmental art.
The content of the four subsequent lecture/seminars will principally be determined by students in consultation with the course tutors. Tutors will recommend avenues of research relevant to the particular direction of student projects and this research will directly drive further discussion and study.
The final three lecture/seminars will specifically address conceptual and practical concerns relevant to the realisation of students' solo projects within the public domain.
Criteria for assessment :
i] For physical realisation of the solo project assessment will be made upon the basis of the following criteria:
- Conception: evidence of embodied knowledge of conceptual context; integrity, originality and creativity of ideas. (35%)
- Realisation: evidence of sustained development; rigour of methodology and form; facility with media employed. (35%)
- Presentation: relevance, efficiency and sophistication of delivery. (20%)
- Personal Management: effective use of time, awareness of context within peer group work. (10%)
ii] Similarly, for `virtual` realisation of the solo project assessment will be made upon the basis of the following criteria:
- Conception: evidence of embodied knowledge of conceptual context; integrity, originality and creativity of ideas. (35%)
- Realisation: evidence of sustained development; rigour of methodology and form; facility with media employed. (35%)
- Presentation: relevance, efficiency and sophistication of delivery. (20%)
-Personal Management : effective use of time, awareness of context within peer group work. (10%)
