Welcome to the online course video documentation of installations. This course is designed for professionals who work in museums and other cultural organisations to gain insight into current theory and practice of documenting installation artworks on video. It was created as part of the European research project Inside Installations: Presentation and Preservation of Installation Art.
The course is made up of two modules, a test and a clip library. >Module 1Theory: Video documentation of installations. Video lends itself to creating a variety of useful documentation of installations. This module asks questions such as: What categories of video documentation exist? What issues need to be considered when trying to capture the essence of an installation? The module includes clips with examples.
>Module 2Practice: Documenting (video) installations on video. This module is a practical guide to help you to produce your own video documentation of an installation and includes clips illustrating technical issues such as how to set the white balance on your camera.
>Test After completing the modules, asses your knowledge with this 30 question multiple-choice test.
