VanDerBeek designed this alternative cinema to create an "international picture-language" through a series of events he described as "movie-murals," "newsreels of dreams," and "image libraries."Students in fall 2024 courses Art and Technology (CORE400) and Expanded Cinema (FMST390A) have joined forces to remake this work for the contemporary moment using the immersive media environment of the Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio (aka The Vault) as their canvas. Movie-Drome 2.0 features an array of audio-visual media—from archival images to live surveillance, pop culture to politics, psychedelia to environmental processes, local sites to world events.Co-sponsored by Core Distinction - Nov 194:15 PMGuided Afternoon MeditationToday's Events | Chapel House, Meditation Space
