Robert Arnold - Persistence of Vision: The Relation of the Still to the Moving image

Split Film Festival Guest Lecture Several of my short experimental films and videos have explored the relationship between the still and the moving image, in a variety of different ways. This simple, fundamental and familiar fact, that moving pictures are based on still (non-moving) images, has been a source of child-like fascination and wonder to me from the start. In this lecture/demonstration, I will discuss this idea in relation to my work and some of the different ways that I have explored the relation between still and moving image, including using still images as the basis for movement, and treating moving images as stills in the creative process. I will also discuss some other films and ideas related to this theme that have influenced and inspired my thinking and my creative process.
