Abstract
Steve Klee’s art film The Institute for Predictive Images theorizes about images, bodies, and scientific knowledge by merging concepts from Deborah Levitt’s writing on our contemporary audio-visual condition with ideas from psychology. Levitt claims that we are now more likely to understand images as ‘animatic’ rather than ‘filmic’. Klee asserts body image to be animatic in Levitt’s sense. The video can be understood as an allegory of her theories, as supplemented by psychological concepts, but also as an enactment of these ideas, a performance – sometimes ethical – of the animatic image. Other theoretical resources drawn upon include critical posthumanism, and decolonial approaches.
