My work on Affect Transmission through Mechanical Artworks has been published as a book chapter in Learning to See: The Meanings, Modes and Methods of Visual Literacy. The eBook has been edited by Michael Heitkemper-Yates and Katarzyna Kaczmarczyk and published by Inter-Disciplinary Press (IDP). My chapter charts the notions of affect involved in the ‘instantaneous emotional impulses’ generated by the viewer’s capacity to identify and interpret the parts of a work of mechanical assemblage. My interdisciplinary approach to the affective dynamic that exists between the object and the viewer focuses upon perception as both a sensory and an emotional mechanism.

Good news! My article on how imprints of movement and sound in mechanical art forms can be employed in managing certain cases of patients with amnesia has been published in ON, academic peer-reviewed audio journal for Experimental Art and Visual Culture, published by the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. The ON Amnesia issue looks at new understandings of memory formation and memory loss emerging at the intersection of arts and neuropsychology. Keynote contributors include Jill Bennett, professor of experimental arts, and Catherine Loveday, principal lecturer in cognitive neuroscience.
