Published Book Chapter: Learning to See: The Meanings, Modes and Methods of Visual Literacy.

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.
