Hi everyone…here are the two texts that I’ll be drawing upon for next week’s presentation – I’m sending them via a Wetransfer link, as the blog didn’t seem to want to upload them directly (blame it on the blog). I’d suggest reading the intro to the Labelle book, which provides a good overview of where [...]

Short Screen Reflection
I imagine future screens to be non-dependent upon bordered, material space.

The Future Screen
I imagine the future screen as a 3-dimensional space/screen that perceptively wraps around the viewer like a blanket simulating life itself.
A screen as big as the world where you can be free to roam around or choose to submit to a narrative that guides you through this world focusing your attention on certain [...]
