About
Having been an artist and Cinematographer for 25 years, the aim of my current work is to investigate through practice and critical reflection what is happening to the audience gaze as it shifts from the analogue to the digital and on to higher resolutions. In staging my work I have noticed, reflected and written about a phenomenon that repeatedly occurs: as resolution increases so audience engagement deepens – the measurement of this is the increased time people remain with the works as I increase the resolution of the work. To further my research I am now seeking to investigate the idea that there is a sensibility that deepens audience engagement via the production of the ‘cinematic moment’ and that this moment can be used as a lens for understanding the nature of the impact of High Definition technologies.
