Seamlessness in the analogue and digital

As consumers and producers of contemporary visual culture, we are in an era of high-resolution photographic realism. Continuous hardware and software development simulate close up sharpness in images and hyper-real movement through zoom and panning-actions and enhanced playback technology. In counterpoint to this, I develop analogue film-strip imagery using a still camera in the manner of a movie camera that offers a different representation and a deconstruction of the way we see rather than the objects to be seen.

Reflecting on ideas of data disinformation, this paper looked at the representation of movement, time and narrative structure in film-strips, and examine shifts of information and overlapping, repetition and blurring of images as part of the analogue and digital process of production. It reflected on ideas of seamlessness and continuity at a time dominated by fragmentation and layering.
