Accepted Paper:
Audiovisual Palimpsests - Voices and moving pictures as projected substances that insist in the choreographic movement of the urban landscape
Eduardo Gama
(University of Bristol)
Paper Short Abstract:
Oral and visual storytelling are dynamic practices that influence how the urban landscape is perceived. These frequently help establishing a sense of community/communion whilst having the potential to transform. This paper will use performative research methodologies to enquire this relationship.
Paper Abstract:
Audiovisual Palimpsests will focus on the creative and performative properties of the voice (orality, aurality) and the moving picture and explore them as crucial elements that, by being in constant flux, help promoting the dynamic reshaping of our perception of space. Through the creative use of these elements the urban environment retains a sense of virtual memory that, with greater or lesser awareness, impacts our everyday lives. In contrast, voices and images can also become intimately subversive components and therefore able to create disruptions in the social fabric. This presentation aims to address the intersection between prosaic multi-sensorial creative practices and the continuous reshaping of the urban landscape.
