In the Video Art Workshop an introduction to video art will be made under the context of “contemporary art” and “nonlinear editing techniques”. The workshop will be on both theoretical and practical levels. In this workshop, participants will not only be introduced to the practical information on video production, but will also have the opportunity to actually create one.Each participant will develop a project for the workshop period and realize this with his/her friends by helping each other’s works. A professional technical team, expert in computers and digital video, will give assistance in all phases and also editing. The videos made in the workshop will be shown on a screening event in which everybody will participate. (Adobe Premier, and Final Cut Pro will be covered during the workshop)
