Persistence of vision is a phenomenon of the eye in which an afterimage is believed to last for approximately one twenty-fifth of a second on the retina. This exhibition by Richard Forrest is an examination of how one’s mind and senses respond to imagery – video, sound and sculpture. In turn the work attempts to subvert our perceptions of digital technologies.

In his current practice Forrest explores a relationship with technology by making, hacking, glitching and subverting assumed uses of digital media. Persistence of Vision aims to simultaneously challenge and excite the senses.

Richard Forrest was chosen by the Joinery as part of the 2011 graduate programme.
