WRITE AFTER READING

The shifting physicality of the written word in the age of digital  
surveillance continuously warps and renegotiates notions of the  
personal and the political throughout this selection of films.  
Personal footage and self-interrogation are re-appropriated in  
narratives that blur the lines between documentary, manifesto and  
fiction.

With 40 years between them, John Latham’s Encyclopaedia Britannica  
(1971) and Andrew Norman Wilson’s Workers Leaving the Googleplex  
(2011) both interrogate the evolving physicality and accessibility of  
the written word. Helen Benigson’s The Future Queen of the Screen  
(2011) starts with an old-fashioned, echoing keyboard clang, never  
letting go of the seductive tactility of the digital interface. Equal  
parts futuristic dystopia and childhood holiday nostalgia, Daniel  
Mann’s Future Diaries (2011) creates an improbably seamless experiment  
in narrative dissonance from the artist’s father’s Hi-8 family video  
archive.

A discussion will follow the screening.

With thanks to Openvizor, LUX, and Angus-Hughes Gallery.
