Core Courses:
Method Scenography, Moving Image: Extension from Image to Time, Artificial Intelligence Art
• Method Scenography
As a curriculum system, Method Scenography contains two interrelated orientations: space and time. The space-oriented curriculum system is defined as Topologies, while the time-oriented one is Chronicle. Drawing on topological theories, the course adopts geological methodologies to analyze variables, and particularly invariants, emerging within the evolution of time and space. The spatial curriculum evolves as expanded Topologies, categorized under Megastructure. The temporal curriculum develops as evolutionary Chronicle, categorized under Monumental Series.
These two systems interact and integrate reciprocally:
Megastructures constructed in Monumental Series form, and Monumental Series narrations built upon Megastructural frameworks.

• Moving Image: Extension from Image to Time
This course is designed to guide students to accomplish a conceptual shift from image-based thinking to time-based art, and further to time-space art. Following the logical progression of "image — time — narration - image", the course takes image cognition as the entry point for the learning of time-based art, and ultimately leads students to explore diverse visual narration that highlights the tension of images.

• Artificial Intelligence Art
Focusing on Al art — the greatest revolution in the history of human art — this course guides students to understand the fundamental principles and practical operational techniques of artificial intelligence. It covers a wide range of cutting-edge Al tools and technologies, teaching students to maintain artistic thinking and professional identity amid the proliferation of Al visual production, rather than being overwhelmed by the Al tide. In this irreversible technological trend, the course helps students embrace Al technology and Al aesthetics, and learn to coexist and co-create with artificial intelligence. Ultimately, it leads students to reflect on ultimate academic topics, including the essence of human creativity and artistic inspiration, artificial consciousness, artificial aesthetics, and the nature of art itself.
