FilmMediaExpo2020

"The Art of Impact" is one of three course profiles within the Master’s program for Film and Media. Through augmented realities and immersive media, we have enhanced our awareness of the existing reality – but who’s reality? Will art ever be the same again?

We believe collaboration is essential in order for us to understand our world of the past, our present-day world – and what is at stake.

Navigating complexity and uncertainty, 360° cameras and binaural sound design have been tools for understanding conflicts. Storytellers play a crucial role in framing how our societies understand both the crises of our time, and their solutions. We educate progressive storytellers that shape the future narratives of our recovery. Artist who formulate principles for a new direction in tech, built for engagement and empowerment.

Methodology courses and practical fieldwork have been interlinked with visits to exhibitions, seminars on literature and the study of knowledge philosophy and critical theory.

With a strong focus on narrative and audience, distribution and participation we have created projects for public spaces, artistic projects based on research methods from a documentary tradition.

The ART in The Art of Impact has taken place with no boundaries between different forms of expression. Although it is not possible to measure, the students have grown on all fronts, included and allowed themselves to be included so obviously.

The Art of Impact 2018-2020 profile leaders are interdepartmental: Ulrika Malmgren, Assistant Professor in Performances at Department of Acting and Tinna Joné, Assistant Professor of Documentary Storytelling at Department of Film and Media

Comedy in a very cold climate

Now is a fascinating time of digital media and new technologies. They offer immersion and interaction and they challenge us, as creators, to work in alternative ways, create more space for the audience and develop our ideas across media while staying true to our artistic principles. During my studies, I developed a body of work that includes films, VR, AR and stand up comedy as a way to investigate cross-fertilisation in the creative field between different formats, practices and individuals.

In this project which is a VR experience I’m looking into filmmaking not as a tool for analyzing reality, but more of dreaming for a new desirable one. How we see ourselves as individuals, explore life in action, and how we position towards each other.

Embodied narratives

This project attempts to explore different ways of connecting with someone else´s reality. How can we cause an impact with storytelling? Generate reflection, a look from another perspective? It attempts to close the gap between information and the actual person behind it.

From problem-solving to improvisation in filmmaking:

This exposition provides an insight into indeterminacy during improvisation, with the help of modern technological utilization. I will also share my journey between the unpredictable filming situation and the message about "dream and reality" that I would like to bring forth with my films.

The Walk

The Walk- an immersive VR live theatre installation addressing the question of mental health while researching how we can be capable of extended compassion and how theatre and immersive media can collaborate and reach out to and with an audience.

A New Language for Cities

A new language for cities is an exploration into how Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and New Media (XR) can help to make art more inclusive through re-introducing it into everyday life, allowing audiences to consider the environment around them in new, playful, immersive and interactive ways.
