INVESTIGATION: Screen-test for meta-academy@bates 2013 | Week 1: Arriving in Presence. We propose the creation of a self portrait video inspired by the Screentests conceived and produced by Andy Warhol from 1964 to 1966. In Warhol’s screen tests, subjects were filmed with his stationary 16mm Bolex camera resulting on a series 2 and half minutes unbroken shots of silent film portraits of Factory regulars. The subjects were asked to sit in front of the camera and not to talk. Just sit there and feel the camera. This is one of the screen tests: We propose the reenactment of Warhol's screen tests using the video sharing site YouTube and a webcam. How does it work? The process has two phases: Phase 1: Capturing the video -Sit in front of your computer and try to reproduce the camera angle, lighting and framing and background from the video shown before.

Meta academy Embodied Activity #3 “Simultaneous Duet Mini Extended Underscore” This week we will meet online with a partner to do what Nancy Stark Smith is calling a “Simultaneous Duet Mini Extended Underscore.” You will meet with in a google+ hangout on air (rather than just a hangout) with a fellow improvisor to do a very shortened version of the Underscore, guided by Nancy’s voice.
We ask that you record the session (hangouts on air automatically get recorded onto your youtube channel when you hit the “broadcast” button). As a harvest, we ask that each partner edit a one minute remix of the video of your experience using youtube video editor. Please post your videos in this discussion. You can use the video below or the mp3 as your voice guidance. Schedule a hangout with a fellow lab member. Once the Doodle scheduler starts being filled out by everyone, you’ll be able to see who has time to meet at the same time you do. 2. 3. 4. Questions or support: INVESTIGATION: Thick mash-up video essay | Week 3. Media theorist Andreas Treske introduces the notion of “thickening of the video image” in his book “The Inner Life of Video Spheres” published by the Institute of Networked Cultures. He asserts that there is a 'thickening of the image' when we can place interactive objects on the timeline in the "Z axis" of the image (layers).
Now it is possible to compose the frame with on-line live interactive streams of data such as: videos, wikipedia, google maps, texts, video and hyperlinks.
