Lo-Fi Video Editing
Class description
Lo-Fi media provides a creative outlet in the age of mass media consumption and self-production. This course explores the production of audiovisual projects using basic tools like smartphones and simple editing software. Artists such as Maya Deren, Chris Marker, Jonas Mekas, and Bruce Conner serve as inspiration. Students engage in recording and editing exercises involving found footage, distorted sounds, and superimposed photos. The course focuses on individual interests, artistic investigation, conceptualization, experimentation, and production, culminating in online project presentations.

Tutor profile
Agustín Ortiz Herrera
Teacher, WRKSHP
Agustín Ortiz Herrera’s artistic practice is developed in the fields of audiovisual, performance and installation. He uses these media to activate the queer perspective in a patriarchal-colonialist context nurtured by the dominance of audiovisual persuasion and the normative representation of memory.
His recent exhibitions and collaborations include the Center d’Art Santa Mónica, La Escocesa-CREAF, CCCB, The Green Parrot, Center d’Art Maristany, Barcelona Loop Festival, Hangar Public Program, La Capella/Barcelona Producció and Uppsala Konsert & Kongress to name a few. In 2021 his work “Fungi Fantasy and their friends Crazy Bacteria” was acquired by the MACBA collection.
