Despite the cinema’s heritage of technological and creative diversity, it is Hollywood that has come to define its dominant forms of production and distribution, its technological apparatus and its narrative forms. But the hegemony of Hollywood’s modalities of movie making is being increasingly challenged by the new digital modalities for the production and presentation, and we are seeing the genesis of new platforms and practices that signal the re-generation of an experimental cinema. In his talk Professor Shaw will discuss the convergent multiplicity of new techniques of representation and intercommunication, and discuss specific examples from his 40+ year art practice that exemplify the emergent identities of the digitally expanded cinema.About Jeffrey Shaw:
