Emit Snake-Beings
Dr Emit Snake-Beings is a practitioner and theorist in the field of interactive media with an interest in combining digital media with the practical, hands-on and material focused approaches of Do-it-Yourself (DiY) culture. His practice includes soundscape, film, video, animation, street recordings, electrical coin-operated kinetic sculpture, technological shrines and a particular photographic practice called ‘Detailology’ using homemade macro lens. As an experienced craftsperson and filmmaker, his approach is to include material engagement as an integral and vital component of interactive art, in an attempt to embody aspects of knowledge that are often missing from purely digital new media. His research has included the use of interview, ethnographical film, material analysis and observation of studio/workshop practices.
