THEORY/PRACTICE: Expanding Scholarship in the Age of Digital Media; “Dreams and Terrors of Desktop Documentary”
How does a computer screen explore the world? “Desktop documentary” treats the computer screen as both a lens and a canvas to dramatize and interrogate the digital interface. This presentation uses desktop-based methods as a mode of videographic research and film production, in projects exploring cinematic and post-cinematic affect, participatory viewership, and the political aesthetics of online media circulation. A sample of desktop-based video essays will be presented: the online reconstruction of an inaccessible James Benning film; the search for an ISIS social media heartthrob; and the geopolitics of viral drone footage of the Syrian War.
