Spring 2016, ARCH 202: The New Vision — Castillo & Davids

The New Vision, pioneered by László Moholy-Nagy, the instructor of the Bauhaus “foundation course” from 1923 to 1928, hailed photography and cinematography as epochal shifts in human perception – perhaps even culminating an entire Western ‘history of seeing.’ The ‘camera eye’ allowed for new modes of envisioning and depicting the experience of modernity.

These works explore the Bauhaus concept of The New Vision by making a video collage of appropriated visual. The final products are optical narratives that appropriate the Bauhaus legacy.
