Terry Flaxton in Hi Def

Terry delivers a highly physiological and technological on the state and reception both analogue images and hi definition. Foraying into the technologies of sight that govern our relationship to images with illustration in his installation works that play with the illusion of hi-def imagery. this leads to discussions of the novelties and mysticism of the image that results from these new technologies, equating the test reactions to hi-rez demonstrations to that of the infamous Lumierre brothers myth. that is that the audience have a physical reaction to the experience that only comes from exposure to an instance of experience that surpasses, in its distinction, any other. 
The detailed technicalities and techno-determinism of this discussion are absolved with the acknowledgement of experience and the intriguing psychologies of seeing related to high definition of contemporary image technologies.
