Synopsis
This thematic will interrogate in theory and praxis the mutable contours of narrative strategies from early cinema, documentary practices, YouTube instructional clips to data driven speculative scenarios. A variety of approaches will be explored such as appropriating and re-positioning the conventions of live narrative “lecturers" or “explicateurs" from the silent era that coalesce with more contemporary practices of what is commonly known as the performance lecture. Interventions within and beyond moving image online archives will provide an initial platform in which to create short moving image and sound works and fuzzy hybrids thereof.
