These processes take a number of forms and techniques such as time-lapse in the work of Emily Richardson and Jeanne Liotta through to more recent experiments such as Semiconductor\u2019s digital constructions of imaginary weather systems and Susan Collins\u2019 real-time pixel fragmentation of the landscape. A conversation event with Chris Welsby, Catherine Elwes and William Fowler will concentrate on seascapes in the moving image.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Welsby has been exhibiting work since 1969. He is renowned as a landscape artist and pioneer of moving image installations. These screenings accompany the exhibition \u201cSystems of Nature\u201d at the Lethaby Gallery, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (6 November \u2013 13 December 2007), which presents two of Welsby\u2019s most recent installations for the first time in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Curated by Steven Ball, Mark Webber and Maxa Zoller for the British Artists\u2019 Film and Video Study Collection at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alina Rudnitskaya\u2019s humanistic approach to documentary filmmaking often brings out the humour in her chosen subjects.
