MAGICK, VIDEO ART, AND NARRATIVE

This course will cover my personal approach to the fusion of Magickal practice with creative processes.

Requirements

1. The homeworks for this class will all require some method of creating video art, so you will have to have some kind of access to tools for creating video art whether it involves computers, cameras, hardware mixers, synthesizers, editors, OBS, animations, or whatever!

2. The classes will all involve discussions, so please come ready to talk and share your thoughts!
