GMU:Space Is The Place/projects: Difference between revisions

I'm in a phase of changing my life speed. Coming into a wokring context that ressembles passed ones. I want to step outside of pragmatics, daily news and politics and return to a working pattern rooted in intuition. I started this semester off with concrete ideas, but realised many of them were "one-liners" or time-rooted, connected to this particular moment in time and even more specifically to the current moment in media art production. I hold a romantic belief that my role as an artist is to work in another way that the world around me functions, to look for what can be seen between the cracks and can be found through "other" ways of looking. For example, if capitalism draws most of us to produce objects and move in a strong claimingly forward direction, then I should slow down and look beside me instead of ahead, watching for the tiny details and patterns that exist or searching for other types of motion.

I guess its safe and also predictable to say that I work in the tradition of experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. I'm changing the speed and motion of my vision, using camera tools and looking for what I could see and how I can capture that. Its a poetic way of looking and then assembling the images.
