Perhaps I need to define this idea of the ‘charged moment’ of a work that I have been referring to. In a charged moment, I hope for the work, or more so our understanding of how we perceive the work to begin to exceed itself. So by altering or moving beyond the expectation we have of a representation, I want to make a viewer more conscious of how we perceive in a certain way. Bergson refers to an ‘affective-gap’ or a moment of ‘hesitancy’ between seeing and processing what we see. A moment of latency.
But this is all still remaining in cognitive thinking. To overcome this philosophising I’ve been trying to create a rupture in our conceived expectations of different dimensions. Initially by trying to address what is our preconceived expectation of these dimensions and then how I can conflate, move between or exceed them.
Some exercises in exceeding the page.
