• My PhD, by practice, comprises five video pieces and a thesis entitled Materiality and Medium-Specificity: Digital Aesthetics in the Context of Experimental Film and Video. In considering aesthetics associated with intervals, framing, abstraction, and the concept of medium-specificity, the thesis examines aesthetic strategies that have carried across the different technologies of film, video and digital media. The videos that accompany the thesis pose questions that are related to those raised by the historical and contemporary work that I discuss in my writing, exploring issues concerning representation, through to colour mixing and the phenomenon of apparent motion.
