ARTICLES
  • Flaxton T. (2009), The Technologies, Aesthetics, Philosophy and Politics of High Definition Video, Millennium Film Journal, No 52, (pp. 44-55) There is a refrain emerging within this paper concerning the relationship between technology and art  http://www.academia.edu/204070/The_Technologies_Aesthetics_Philosophy_and_Politics_of_High_Definition_Video
These articles fuelled further reflection, which I then presented in the following Conference Papers
