Gerrie van Noord in conversation with t s Beall

‘Presence, physicality, and the mediated spectacle’

How does the filming, editing, and re-presenting of a real event within Castlefield Gallery shift both the gallery context and the perception of the event itself? t s Beall and Gerrie van Noord will discuss the tension between real space and mediated space, and real and mediated time. Focus will be given to the physical experience offered by multi-media installations, and their potential to heighten or diminish presence and physicality.
