Ms Chrystal Cherniwchan
| Biography | My practice-based research explores expanded and speculative documentary practice(s), including photography, film and video, audio field recordings, and memoir/creative non-fiction and autofiction writing, by investigating more than human and more than algorithmic knowledge systems, focusing on affect and sensuality, asking questions around the production of recorded experience, and how these methods and outcomes influence knowledge production. I am also interested in critical debates around hyper-tools used in digital generative methods of creation, to critique artifice within creative contemporary mechanical reproductions, and questions surrounding ontological understanding within machine learning realities, and their effects on documentary practice. |
