bachelor of communication honours

I graduated in 2007 with a cinema studies major from the Media department at the School of Applied Communications, RMIT University, Melbourne.

Recently I have found myself interested in:

• the video work and late montage theory of Jean-Luc Godard - in particular his work on "Histoire(s) Du Cinema". (I have written a critical article on "Histoire(s)" for Cteq Annotations in the online film journal Senses of Cinema.)
• The compositional theory and video-mixing practice informing Robert Ashley's 1978 opera for television "Perfect Lives".
• A quote from the composer Morton Feldman suggesting that all composers are "amateur Marcel Duchamps".
• Internet artist Mark Amerika and his theories of post-production and remixology
• The visually economic and poetically-decentered aesthetics of Japanese animation and the films of Yasujiro Ozu.
• Philosophies of technology, images and writing

My aim in honours is to distill these tendencies to develop a multi-faceted project that adresses and advances the problems, theories and techniques they present.
