MA Art & Technology Thesis “The Electronic Image: An Object of Time and Energy” (University of Limerick, Ireland)

A three part video series comprises of three individual studies, namely Embedded Energy, Electronic Phase, and Omnidirectional Objects, with each video study exploring an inherent characteristic of the video signal. Reflecting on key phases of the mediums development, and its structural, temporal and spatial capabilities.

The three studies have been shaped by the experimental processes, techniques, and philosophies of the pioneering artists working with video. The artists in question, specifically the works of Steina and Woody Vasulka, who were driven by their devotion to formulate an electronic lexicon for the electronic image.

The work in its entirety, is an investigation of the unique set of “codes” embedded within the language of the video signal. Recognising the electronic image as an object of time, energy, and it's programmable building element – the waveform.
