Projections An Exploration of Remediation, Capitalism, and Poetics

Abstract

Referring to the accompanying short film Projections, this piece interrogates meanings of “remediation”. The film is a compilation of short clips, music, and narrative working to create a multi-sensory experience to challenge the perceptions we have of ourselves and others in a media-centered view. Through the incorporation of theoretical anthropological texts, this piece touches on co-occurring capitalist and poetic remediation. The former creates an imagined depiction of what a product is, utilizing the screen to do so; the latter suggests a form of poetry is invented by using media.
