This subject covers techniques and technologies which immerse the viewer within the image, from virtual reality objects to panoramic photography and interactive projection. There are a variety of display contexts for the immersive image: the art gallery, the museum interactive and the information display being three. In lectures, students look at examples of innovative presentation formats. They are introduced to ways in which key practitioners have explored the grammar of installation and influenced the wider field of image production in the fine art and commercial fields. Students are encouraged to develop an idea based in the sourcing, processing and display of images in immersive contexts. Students are encouraged to be led by the idea rather than the technology, and discussions engage them in a debate about their relationship to image, technique and output.
