In Search of Now-Time: Live-editing as a mode of research

In my PhD project, In Search of Now-Time: Live-editing as a mode of research, I will be focusing on moving images as the main apparatus for the representation of historical time and video live-editing as a materialist investigation into the very temporalization of history. While drawing on media theories and philosophical debates on contemporaneity, the event and it's representation, I will immerse my research into the temporal aspects of various forms of crises – from the immediate and rather spontaneous revolts to the climatic disasters that are slow moving and long in the making – in order to discuss how one can make an image of a historical process still unfolding messily in the present?
