This community is composed of Boğaziçi University (İstanbul- Turkey) students and graduates, who have taken the Intermedia course, led by their teacher Jeffrey Baykal Rollins. He is a photographer, painter and installation artist. However, neither his work, nor his teaching mentality distinguishes betweem different disciplines of art. Since 2005 he has been giving intermedia course.
Intermedia is an interdisciplinary course which brings together students working with a variety of media in a shared conceptual framework. This theory-based course offers students the opportunity to create conceptual art projects that grow out of research in their chosen areas of interest. Furthermore, Intermedia provides an area for students to work across disciplines, whether it be a filmmaker using installation art, a poet using performance, or a physics student using video and digital media. Through lectures, screenings, guest artists, and readings, students is exposed to a wide range of working methods that will help them to bring a work of art from idea to completion.
Each term the course has a happening in the campus where the students can show their videos, perform their pieces, have their installations exhibited. In every two years we are planing to arrange an Intermedia Biennial which would expand out of our campus.
