Talk

MFA Photography, Video and Related Media presents an evening with faculty members Robert L. Bowen and Natasha Chuk as they discuss Bowen’s new book, The Human Shutter (Intellect Press, 2025). The Human Shutter provides a complex reexamination of time perception in early stereographs. This study of the art of binocular vision offers a novel way to think about all lens-based and post-lens-based mediums.

Robert L. Bowen is a New York-based artist and writer who works in various formats, including video, photography, installation, architecture, stereoscopic media, site-specific visualizations, and performance.

Natasha Chuk, PhD, is a media theorist, writer, and educator whose work focuses on the relations between art, philosophy, and creative technologies. She is the author of Vanishing Points: Articulations of Death, Fragmentation, and the Unexperienced Experience of Created Objects (Intellect, 2015), and she is working on a book tentatively called Traces in the Image: The Photographic in Post-Photography (Intellect, forthcoming). Her work has been published in Millennium Film Journal, Ultra Dogme, Kolaj Magazine, the Institute of Network Cultures, Metaverse Creativity Journal (now Virtual Creativity), Baltic Screen Media Journal, Flat Journal, and others.
