“The Force of Small Gestures: the Logic of Sensation and Experimental Film” D. N. Rodowick (The University of Chicago) In this lecture, Rodowick examines how certain strategies of non-figurative painting may be powerfully linked to related digital processes in recent experimental film and video. Taking inspiration from Gilles Deleuze’s book on Francis Bacon, Logic of Sensation, and the vitalist materialism of Henri Bergson, Rodowick will speak on Ernie Gehr’s 2001 video, Glider, and other works as exploring the domain of sensation that lies beneath, over, or inside quotidian vision as a dimension of intensive qualitative experience masked by habitual perception. D. N. Rodowick is Glen A. Lloyd Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. He is the author of numerous essays as well as eight books, including most recently, What Philosophy Wants from Images (University of Chicago Press, 2017). Rodowick is also a curator, and an award-winning experimental filmmaker and video artist.
