Techniques of Videographic Thought

Abstract

Film scholar and video essayist Johannes Binotto analyzes several of what he calls "practices of viewing." We might also call them techniques of videographic thought. As performers and practitioners who work with our own bodies in audiovisual form… What can we learn from these developments in videographic scholarship? When we cut our own audiovisual bodies, it can sometimes hurt. We should look for ways to care for these bodies — our bodies — with every cut.
