Stewart COLLINSON I am a
practising Artist Filmmaker. My work with moving
image is profoundly informed by the body of work
created by artists since the beginning of cinema.
As the moving image became appropriated by
storytellers and conveyers of ideology and
information in the early part of the 20th Century,
visual artists have used the medium for other
purposes. Having dispensed with narrative as a
means of structuring time, many turned to music as
the model to organise the duration of this new
visual time-based medium. Explored in this way, the
moving image becomes an abstract medium, freed from
representation, consisting instead of the
fundamentals of light and darkness, colour,
movement and rhythm. Current and emergent digtal
technologies offer the artist the possiblity of
blurring the boundaries between existing artforms
even further.

As an artist I believe in the principle of mixing
traditional and innovatory technologies and working
methods to achieve what can be called "eyemusic"
My work covers a range of activities: as an artist making moving image work for single-screen viewing and gallery installation; as a facilitator of arts education project work with regional, national and international arts organisations in collaboration with composers, musicians and dancers. The outcomes of these projects can also be work for single screen, multi-screen installation or live mixing and projection of video and digital imagery for performance. In addition I am a visiting lecturer in Moving image at the Faculties of Art and Design and Media Production at Lincoln University. recent work:
