Fragmented Continuity: an investigation into autobiographical time

Abstract

My practice-led research project explores alternative autobiographical modes of digital video art to examine the fragmented continuity of a personal experience of time. This has culminated in the development of 'video weaving' for the final work entitled "Threadbare" which is a digital video installation. This work draws on my investigations into temporal studies such as neuroscience, neuro-cognitive film theory, Buddhist philosophy and meditation. My practice has also been informed by experimental filmmakers such as Marie Menken, Arthur and Corinne Cantrill, Andy Warhol and Rose Lowder. Developing a unique editing process to combine multiple digital files into a single framework, "Threadbare", incorporates my reading into ideas of time and digital medium to convey the embodied experience of time as a reflection of self-portraiture.
