What is MONA?
The Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, Tasmania.
MONA’s own website is great place to get acquainted with their sensibilities and practices, though this New Yorker article by Tasmanian novelist, Richard Flanagan, ‘TASMANIAN DEVIL – A master gambler and his high-stakes museum’, arguably reveals more about David Walsh and the unusual history of the Museum:
“…Walsh had embarked on an even more quixotic project: building a private art museum in Tasmania dedicated to sex and death.”
David Byrne’s reflections on MONA are also pretty insightful: https://web.archive.org/web/20130226042641/http://journal.davidbyrne.com/2013/01/012113-monaism.html
And the rest of the MONA site gives a chance to browse previous exhibitions and the MONA general-collection get a sense of their general themes, and offers up insights behind the MONA architecture.

TUTORIAL RESOURCES:
Presumably most design students are skilled with Adobe Photoshop, but if you need to brush up, anything you learn about Photoshop layers / blend modes / masking / compositing etc will prove very helpful with the software we’ll be looking at this semester:
– Adobe Premiere (video editing)
– Adobe After Effects (composition, visual effects, animation, colour grading)
There are lots of Lynda courses available for both, from introductory to advanced levels, all broken down into small bite sized video clips, for easy learning at your own pace. That link takes you to the RMIT login page for Lynda, and all RMIT students have free access to the extensive video resources available at Lynda.
See also, free tutorials from Creative Cow ( Premiere / After Effects ) and Video Co-Pilot (great basic tutorials for After Effects ).
