Tutorial over Zoom

 

A name that cropped up 

Had the chance of a Tutorial with City Lit  Art & Design's Moving Image specialist Dr Pete Gomes today.

One of the things that I was aware of and will now act is to make the online posts more reflective - with the benefit of time I will revisit and hopefully be able to extrapolate more in the way of lessons and attitudes to my own efforts.

It was a wide ranging conversation that covered quite a lot of areas  one name that I thought was familiar was Guy Debord who I had come across when I read Malcolm McLaren's biography - have started reading about the French Situationist but  not yet completed .

Here's a bit of the conversation (on Zoom Chat) with some notes from me - it was useful for me to try and convey my thoughts and direction and Pete did well to get a sense of my interests...

Not linear

I have some directions to go in and even when some of the approaches are not what immediately have jumped to my mind, the suggestions from someone looking in are useful and at least make me ask questions of myself.

A most useful forty-five minutes or so.
