Screen Walk with Cat Bluemke and Jonathan Carroll (SpekWork)
About this film
Cat Bluemke and Jonathan Carroll (SpekWork) took the audience behind the scenes of their video game essay Blindspot . The artist duo will presented their investigation of the absent Baptistery in Assassin's Creed II ’s Florence, reflecting on what prevented the birthplace of linear perspective from being rendered in 3D. Through game images, online maps and image search engines, the walk-through drew the connection between the site’s importance in the development of Western scientific technology and the gradual restructuring of political power through such technological representation that continues to this day. Screen Walks is a series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
