In this episode, filmmaker and writer Erin Espelie discusses the importance of mindful data capturing as part of a more integrated practice-based research methodology that focuses on how artists such as herself sample disparate ideas from traditional sources and remix them into speculative forms of post-documentary filmmaking. Espelie shares with our listeners how as an intermedia artist she uses digital technologies to trigger both emotional and psychological effects for the viewer while simultaneously revealing how critical it is for contemporary practitioners to approach both the natural environment and contemporary screen culture as a framing device for developing new works of art that defamiliarize conventional world views and historical perspectives. Espelie, who holds a joint appointment at the University of baby直播app Boulder in the Film Studies Program and the Department of Critical Media Practices, has shown her films at the New York Film Festival, the British Film Institute, the Natural History Museum of London, Whitechapel Gallery, Crossroads (San Francisco), the Rotterdam International Film Festival, the Edinburgh International Film Festival, the Full Frame Documentary Festival, and more. Her feature-length experimental documentary, The Lanthanide Series, examines the materiality of the digital world, combining approaches of non-fiction narrative essay, abstract visual and sound exploration, and the history of black mirrors.
