Patrick Jameson, RSA

Patrick has developed a process, which involves the deconstruction and reconstruction of culturally significant objects and areas in order to gain an insight into our relationship with technology science and history. Taking the form of ‘studio experiments’ his current films explore the materiality of objects, and of film itself, either by re-appropriating physical objects and materials and changing their intended use or pushing them beyond their capacity to function.

This process of translation is mirrored behind the scenes, where hand crafted objects created in the studio and found objects are transformed to function as tools of the filmmaking industry. His films scrutinise the tools of their own production while simultaneously questioning and disrupting the signifying systems-including artistic languages and cinematic languages-through which objects are attributed with meaning.

In this residency, Patrick will continue to develop and further contextualise his interest in the relationship between Art and Science. In particular, exploring the perception and understanding of time by cross-referencing scientific methods with filmic approaches. Patrick will also be working with a number of new materials and techniques to develop a significant body of new work.
