In conversation, concept, and repetition, "Afterimage" by Josh Kit Clayton is an abstraction of cinema based in the matter of thought. A social zoetrope, it is a study on the transmission and persistence of idea as language shaping the machinery of the mind. The juxtaposition of discontinuities gives way to the illusion of motion as a means of reconciling separateness. And a life after the fact. Duplication. Degradation. Dispersal.
“Afterimage” will include a reading component and discussion along with other exercises in pairs and larger structures.
