MUS 16.01 Visual Music

This course is an introduction to the history of visual music, the exploration of the relationship between music and (mostly) abstract imagery. We will investigate this subject from its predecessors to current day—tracing the constantly expanding practices of visual music through painting, cinema, performance, and installation—from intuitive sketch films to complex algorithmic works. Students should bring an enthusiastic interest in the medium and devote serious effort to reading about, viewing, researching, and discussing all things visual music.
