[ecrea] Screenworks 8.1: Kevin L. Ferguson's Where You End and I Begin

We are pleased to publish the third entry in our current rolling Volume 
8.1: Kevin L. Ferguson’s Where You End and I Begin is an experimental 
video which interrogates the edges of the moving image and troubles the 
act of seeing by juxtaposing sci-fi tropes of the heads-up display, and 
visual overlays in “part i: where i end”, with algorithmic abstractions 
of intimate human gestures in “part ii: and you begin”, using scientific 
image-analysis software, ImageJ. Innovative both in terms of form 
(aesthetic and technical) and content, the video explores outlines, 
liminal spaces and the delineation between people, places and things. 
There is a productive synthesis between the screenwork and its 
supporting research statement, not withstanding the invited criteria to 
judge the submission on “the extent to which the work demonstrates and 
activates new knowledge in the viewer’s mind without recourse to 
descriptive explanation”. Both video and statement, together with the 
peer review, work in dialogue to provide new insights, offering a poetic 
exploration of how the affordances of computer-generated imagery, 
artificial intelligence and increasingly complex algorithms challenge 
our understanding of both narrative filmmaking and what it means to be 
human.

The film and research statement, plus peer reviews are available here:
