The videos presented in this section were made during the undergraduate courses Video Art and Technical Image Art of the Audio and Visual Arts Department of the Ionian University. Projected projects are either weekly exercises or the final semester project. Repetition, movement, the body, supermarket and meal preparation, fragments of one self, surveillance, realism/slice of life are some of the themes dealt with in these works.
The courses aim at getting familiar with the medium of the moving image. Part of the creative process are also questions of a technical nature, semiological readings and feedback from the conception of an idea to the realisation of the final work.
