Logs

In keeping with the work I do curating and facilitating screenings and discussions, I enjoy thinking through film. These logs are an exercise in drawing together the books and articles I read, the errant thoughts that come from this research, and the films that help me understand how ideas might be formalised or narrativised.

science fiction

thinking about:

  • aesthetic and narrative representations of digital technology
  • representations of simulations/VR/total immersion (existing in a kind of cyberspace)
  • communication networks + mass broadcasts
  • presence of screens
  • narrative world building
