Price, Elizabeth
Elizabeth Price works predominantly in moving image. She uses high-definition digital video, with live action, motion graphics, 3D computer animation and sound. Her work is informed by histories of narrative cinema and experimental film, but more precisely concerned with digital video, and in particular its contemporary heterogeneity as a medium used for navigation, advertising, knowledge organisation as well as cinematic special effects.
The conceptual proposition of 'Choir (Parts 1&2)' is to consider the formal assembly process of video editing - the relation between the timeline and the cache/ archive as a simile for the relationship between score and choir in polyphonic musical and dramatic form.
