One of the clear design and practical influences for my final production is HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968).
I am really interested in the way that HAL’s eye seems to mirror the mechanical eye that I was discussing in my post earlier in the year.
But can we say that this is our discovery, second hand with voyagers eyes?
In the Kino film I became entangled with discussions regarding my own subjectivity, which I still think is a question in this film, especially as I am creating a character from/of Voyager, but I want to try and expand the view point to consider a wider notion of subjectivity.
One way that I am thinking of exploring this is by trying to recreate images that are suggestive of celestial phenomena, planets, gas clouds, rather than using archive images.
