Performing cross-dissonant problems in the projected image

Choat, Jennifer Faye ( 2021)

Performing cross-dissonant problems in the projected image explores moving image and lecture-performance as mediums to frame and explore psychological projection. “Cross-dissonance,” the process of identifying elements within one's own artwork that are at odds with one’s personal beliefs, is used to reimagine reflective thinking in the production of self-projection. In this practice-led research, language and moving image become traps to catch relational ethics and theories of living systems. Using agonistic methodologies, the process of questioning collapses into the creative output, ultimately folding into and becoming the artwork itself. Language, image, duration and light are used to index and capture ethics and poetic problematics as the practice continues to fold in on itself. A suite of creative works is included in this research, that together create a fractured digital conference: three lecture-performances presented at live research events in 2021 via Zoom—VCA and MCM University of Melbourne Graduate Research Symposium (February); Birds and Language Conference, University of Sydney (August); and Memory Conference, Centre of Visual Arts (CoVA), University of Melbourne Graduate Academy (September)—as well as one interview-performance and a final projection-based installation.
