Ambiantspace Chapter 10

Ambiantspace is a video work exploring the effects of emergent media on the imagination through the translucent layering of imagery. The work documents a variety of residual spaces not as material representation of the new cyberspace but as significant symbols that have been composited to deconstruct traditional perspectival rhetoric. The work introduces a mimetic body that is created out of captured media fragments through a process of merging residual spaces. The ‘Ambiantspace’ project is not aimed at using the perspectival paradigm as a platform to present a new media image, or understanding of itself. Rather it proposes a new paradigm that allows for the possible objectifications of spatial reconfigurations of perception occurring with new technologies, which is the principle area of research in this project.
