Colin Edgington: News

Lately I’ve been really interested in THIS post at Wired’s “This Day in Tech” blog on Tom A. Warner‘s Lightning research and the images/videos that have resulted from the research.  It is interesting to think of his research in relation to the history of photography & motion and to these kinds of visual studies that have changed our perception and understanding of the physical world, natural phenomena, time and speed.  The slowing down of lightning specifically has me thinking of Eadweard Muybridge and his motion studies from The Attitudes of Animals in Motion.

I want to thank everyone who came to the opening, it was a great turnout! A big thank you to all those who could and couldn’t make it  to the show for all the wonderful feedback and support. I’d also like to congratulate my fellow colleagues in both thesis exhibitions! I’m proud to have shown and worked with you!
