>Indefinite Visions
>Whitechapel Gallery, Zilkha Auditorium
>June 24-5, 11.30am-5.45pm
>
>A two-day event bringing together academics, film-makers and artists to
>explore the indefinite and the illegible in moving images from artists¹
>film and video to experimental film and commercial cinema.
>
>Light, motion, definition, compression: the conditions of recording,
>storing and screening moving image works are subject to constant
>variations that pull them away from perfect visibility. Film-makers and
>artists often seek out and work with the resulting visual uncertainty,
>from the warping of space to the melding of senses; speed to slowness;
>darkness to glare; and blur to glitch. Indefinite Visions explores the
>possibility that an important function of moving image is not to show but
>to obscure, and that like the photographer in Michelangelo Antonioni¹s
>Blow Up the closer and deeper we look at an image, the less clear it
>becomes.
>
>Each day will include presentations, conversations, and screenings on
>film and video, complemented by two evening programmes of films at Close
>Up Film Centre. The event will also feature a programme of screenings
>curated by Kim Knowles, programmer of Edinburgh Film Festival's 'Black
>Box' strand. VR installation 'Notes on Blindness: Into Darkness', winner
>of this year's Tribeca Interactive award, will also be installed as an
>expanded cinema experience at Close Up on both days.
>
>Participating artists will include film-maker and director of Light Cone,
>Emmanuel Lefrant; double 25FPS prize-winner Takashi Makino; Jacques
>Perconte, whose latest film Ettrick recently screened at MoMA's
>DocFortnight; leading glitch artist Rosa Menkman; Ars Electronica
>prize-winning computational film-maker Anouk de Clerq; nanoartist
>Frederick de Wilde; and Slade Professor of Art Susan Collins.
>
>Speakers will include D.N.Rodowick, Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli, Catherine
>Fowler, Emmanuelle André, Holly Rogers, Paul Thomas, Sean Cubitt, Allan
>Cameron, Richard Misek, Erika Balsom, Martine Beugnet, Christa
>Blümlinger, Arild Fetveit, and Maria Palacios Cruz.
