This course examines evolving technologies, forms, and strategies for nonfiction media making. Moving between the history of documentary practice and contemporary experiments, we consider how changing tools and media environments reshape relationships among reality, evidence, authorship, and interpretation. Through screenings, readings, discussions, and hands-on production, students engage critically with approaches to image, sound, archives, interactivity, nonlinearity, and emerging immersive, generative and algorithmic media. The course combines critical inquiry with making, asking students to consider not only what new technologies make possible, but also the assumptions, biases, and forms of mediation they introduce. A series of conceptual and production exercises leads to a final project that may develop an existing body of material or begin a new nonfiction work. Prior coding and/or digital design experience is helpful, but not required.
