Art & the Moving Image: Barnaby Dicker

Abstract

Barnaby Dicker (Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College, London) spricht in der Reihe über "Cinematography as Stroboscopic Art". Certain – often experimental – frame-by-frame modes remind us that cinematography can be viewed as a stroboscopic art of pulsed light and image, as much as a realist or narrative one. By emphasizing and working with the creative potential of cinematography’s frames, a number of filmmakers have exposed a deeply subversive aspect of the medium that has always existed. In this talk we will consider how these frame-based ways of working have manifested within the avant-garde, as well as how they have crept into the mainstream and, significantly, how they may be traced back to the proto-cinematography of the nineteenth-century. Dr. Barnaby Dicker is a Visiting Research Fellow at King’s College, London. His research revolves around conceptual and material innovations in and through graphic technologies and arts, including cinematography and photography, with particular emphasis on avant-garde practices.
