the two video pieces I consulted repeatedly in developing my approach to screen capture: Camille Henrot& #39;s unforgettable, indispensable GROSSE FATIGUE (2013) and Chloé Galibert-Laîné and Kevin B. Lee& #39;s READING // BINGING // BENNING

There are so many examples of thinking about the ecologies of screen media in tandem with ecologies of human + nonhuman landscapes. The Inhabitants deep sea mining videos are a great example. Others include work by Louis Henderson and @AlexTyson23

There are many prehistories to current desktop cinema practices. Many of these treat the graphical user interface as a kind of space of enclosure that needs to be destroyed, like the completely euphoric pieces in Jodi& #39;s MY DESKTOP series...

But in addition to tracing the genealogy of "desktop cinema," it& #39;s fascinating to look at the computer desktop as a visual trope across all sorts of contemporary media, from news illustrations to [art]porn to the display strategies of artists & photographers.

will continue to update this thread with more examples and musings, but in the meantime, I& #39;m super curious for your go-to references!
