Abstract: | Building A Picture, After Cinema is the leading header of my MF A in Digital Art thesis that bears on the premise of how the digital can be applied as a technique even with a predominantly analog medium. Like the relationship between Eadweard Muybridge and Etienne Jules Marey, it is in his "use" that Marey differentiates photography from an analog into a digital technique by exposing a linear sequence of movement as discrete multiple parts. Following a non professional route through the moving image, I often found myself applying cinema at a distance through other means than actually making a film. Likewise, in my practice I attempt to render the digital, after cinema, as a technique of thought by defragmenting a Panoramic whole into its multiple Dioramas and provoke a free-play of the image as signs of a network in recollection. Through redistributing an accessible technique about how to apply a Camera Obscura and extending it to a net(-of-)work, online and off, I intend to research by practice the digital not just as a technology but as a technique of thought, developing a thesis which encapsulates Digital Art as a "Refractional Aesthetic" where, "The background in any image is always another image" (Deleuze, G., 1995 ). |
