Californian artist Jennifer West works at the intersection between two technological paradigms, in a space she calls “analogital” (a contraction of “analogue” and “digital”). In 2016, she completed a monumental film entirely dedicated to movie title cards called Film Title Poem, made on 35mm film, hand etched and painted and transferred to a digital format, which is composed of images of patterns and glitches from over 500 film credits sorted alphabetically. Inspired by Victor Burgin’s essay “The Remembered Film” (2004), West’s feature film investigates the way in which fiction works its way into our memories, but also demonstrates how our viewing experience has changed with digital technology.
