Welcome to the Video Art at SMU Course Blog!

Hello video artists, and welcome to the course blog for the Spring 2020 semester of Video Art at SMU. This will be where your responses to theoretical readings should be posted. All theoretical readings will be available on the Canvas page for this course as pdf files. Please post a substantive response to the readings. I am not interested in a summary or book report. Just tell me what it made you think about, how you felt, whether you agreed or disagreed. Also feel free to post pictures, videos, links, memes, articles on piracy, entrances to the deep web, and all the deep dark secrets of the universe as represented on the internets.

Have fun, make art, be weird.
