The masterclass takes a look at alternative video practice. It aims to explore layers, memory and surfaces from the perspective of digital image making.
Incorporating texts from diverse sources such as magical practices, poetry, contemporary thinking and provocative footage, Roy explores the theme of digital imaging technology as being the ultimate mimicry of human behaviour.
