Description

"In the text I collaged in Shadow Projection – Vivian Sobchack’s Nostalgia for a Digital Object –, Sobchack describes the effects of miniaturisation happening in QuickTime Movies: 'The miniature encourages the phenomenological experience of intensity, interiority, and material preciousness by virtue of its compression and condensation of data in space. But the miniature also effects our sense of time. (…) Constrained or ‘nested’ in a small space, time is reflexive: (…) Furthermore, unlike in ‘real-time’ and ‘live-action’ cinema, our sense of temporality as we engage the miniature never ‘streams’ toward the future (and this is so even when movement is involved). Temporal compression and condensation conflict with forward movement and ‘life-like’ animation. As a result, ‘the miniature always tends toward tableau rather than toward narrative, toward silence and spatial boundaries rather than towards expository closure.’ Fragments and bits and traces of past experience exist ‘now’ in our sight and reverie, not only evocative but also emblematic of irrecoverable ‘originary’ moments of wholeness.'" _____________ [Shadow Projection] is a series of .gifs made to accompany my article DE-/CONSTRUCTION OF A .GIF published in Issue 4 of Moving Image Artists Journal in 2022.
