Seen/Unseen: Again
2005
HD Video. Sound, colour, 7 minutes 47 seconds
The original B&W video (seen) was made using a Sony Portapak (unseen) that had been acquired by Exeter College of Art where I had begun lecturing in 4D studies in 1972. The frame of the camera in 1973 leaves unseen what the artist can see. In 2005 whilst pursuing PhD research at the Creativity and Cognition Studios,UT Sydney, he responded to a Call for Work celebrating the Portpak. The initial experiments with the new medium of video were revisited in 2005 using digital video to develop the precept. The objects remain unseen.
The new digital video was first installed at Videomedja Festival, Novi Sad, Bosnia, 2005.
