Claudio's Thesis - QUICKNOTES

[Steve suggests: in the piece described above, you are also making the viewer conscious of the experience of viewing the piece, which is encoded with 'burning eyes/eyes burning'. Please consider what this mirroring of words does, EYES WATCHING / WATCHING EYES seems redundant, but for me it suggests a shift from the inside of the film to the outside, between the object (the film) and the viewer, between the semiotics and the affect. the dash / is like a hinge that meaning swings on. By this logic FILMINGWATCHINGBURNING could be FILMINGWATCHINGBURNING/BURNINGWATCHINGFILMING. The material and the experience of the material feedback. This is consistent with your desire to work on the border between blindness and sight; visibility and invisibility.]

Aitana also pointed out some redundancy in my work.

I feel it's actually a strategy that I am trying to develop. what does that mean? how can I use it effectively?

a refusal to make a fetish of the final “work” - to operate almost exclusively on the level of the sketch. - what is the value of this stance as an artist?

thinking about self imposed limitations to my practice

black and white only

16mm (limitations in shooting and editing)

when digital editing - keep it simple - 4 tracks + effects - aka not make things that would not be possible to make in analog editing

1 channel only? or can you make split screen in 16 mm?

sound? - no input mixer feedback loops
