I like these sorts of image environments, wherein rhetorical theory is challenged by formalist values. As a rhetorician films such as this force me to consider how authorial vision, technology, and media collude to create vivid commentary or statements, in this case about the temporality of life. </p> http://viz.dwrl.utexas.edu/old/content/stan-brakhage-mothlight-1963#comments Brakhage experimental film visual poetry Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:17:45 +0000 dsmith 339 at http://viz.dwrl.utexas.edu/old
