Charlotte Prodger's 'microsphaeric howard hughes heaven movie' Analyzed by Jenny Brownrigg

In her essay, Jenny Brownrigg examines Charlotte Prodger's 2014 performance titled 'microsphaeric howard hughes heaven movie,' which took place at Tramway in Glasgow in September 2014. The performance involves Prodger and a collaborator bringing in a television monitor, a DVD player, and a portable stereo. After they insert a DVD, they leave, allowing the technology to dominate for eighteen minutes. The work features a mix of sound and visuals from various sources, including hand-splitting 16mm film and low-resolution footage of a runner. Brownrigg discusses the fragmented memory of the experience and the relationship between body and technology, citing Bernard Stiegler's 'Technics and Time' (1994). Additionally, Prodger's 'Stoneymollan Trail' was shown on 23 February 2015 at the Glasgow Film Festival, alongside a double bill of Holt films on 22 February 2015.
