Once again, Ron Wood, Faculty of Art, is pleased to showcase another set of student work from the Black and White Photo 1 class. This assignment is called "A Personal Photo Narrative". These students used analogue cameras, developed their film and worked in wet labs to produce their prints. The images can be found on FLICKR (https://flic.kr/s/aHskL45L2U) and the physical work is on display in the Photography Department (hallway next to the old elevator) until November 22nd.

Search Engine

Friday, November 21, 2008 - 5:00am

On Friday November 21, 2008, OCAD Time Based Media students will muster their digital skills and set out – laptops and digital cameras in tow – on a custom built quest, dubbed Search Engine. Given a single tantalizing clue that alludes to a continuous narrative – students must decode the clue, and launch their search for a series of digital image fragments.

Each found picture fragment will be emailed via OCAD’s wireless network to a home base from which the university's students will receive their next clue.

Over the course of the semester these first-year students will have honed their techniques using digital video and still cameras, graphics editing in Photoshop, web site construction and interactive digital media. Search Engine will maximize this new familiarity and further engage students with the facilities and community that OCAD has opened to them. At the end of their search, students will gather their digital fragments and assemble them to form a whole image – an allegorical narrative that illuminates what they have learned. Search Engine will culminate in a gathering in OCAD's Main Lobby on Friday, November 21 at which the composite images will be displayed. The images will be creative representations of the original image due to different methods and angles in the image capturing and compositing process.
