The Soundcast

Welcome to the Soundcast, an audiovisual exploration of the Brighton seafront

‘All representations distance reality and place it within a frame that, in Metz’s word, “unrealizes” the real,(it is in a frame, in a different time and space from that which is represented). 35 Some, however, seek to substitute themselves for that reality, to give the full-blown impression of reality. Others seek to maintain their distance, not simply to remind us of their status as text, discourse, narrative, or art, but also of the need to move beyond the text if we, too, are to engage with the world that a text can only represent.’ (Nichols, 1991: 68)
