Course title:

From Stillness: Constructing the Perception of Motion

Course description:

What does it mean to move?
How do we make the still, move?
There was a time when we could feel movement within a still image. We imagined speed and direction in the vibration of lines, shapes, and colors. But now, if something doesn't actually move, we don't perceive it as movement. We no longer wait in front of a still image.
Yet within a still image, there are countless directions yet to be determined. The moment just before motion—the possibilities latent within. We want to draw out that imagination as fully as possible.
Rather than delivering fixed answers, this workshop aims to be two weeks of shared exploration: "What do you want to express, and how will you express it?"
