Linear economics and the throwaway society

This is an image from a project I have been working on for some time on linear economics and the throwaway society. The image in this post is a close up of a damaged TV screen that I picked up on eBay. The damage area also captures a moment of acute anguish for the previous owner. The screen would have been part of a production run of many hundreds of thousands of identical units. In a single moment, the accident created something that was unique and one of a kind but also valueless.

Smash!

The edited video is displayed simultaneously on two large damaged plasma TVs. The video below shows Smash as it was displayed in a group exhibition in the Sion Hill Gallery in Bath.

Return to in-person smartphone photography training

After almost two years of purely online teaching I have finally returned to true, in person teaching. I am now offering 1 to 1 or group teaching on site or, if convenient a central Bath training space. I currently offer on-site training to clients across the UK and EU and I have delivered online training to customers around the globe.

Popular in-person workshops include;

smartphone photography (for iPhone and Android)
editing images on a smartphone (for iPhone and Android)
smartphone videography. (for iPhone and Android)

Online training

There is still a huge demand for online training which I will continue to deliver to both individuals and groups.

My training can be ‘off the shelf’ or I can tailor the training to the learners requirements. For more information or a quote, drop me an email at mail@nigelgoldsmith.co.uk

Vertical Movie Festival in Rome

I have produced many vertical films for screening in galleries in recent years but it was not until a month or two ago that I discovered there are film festivals celebrating the vertical format. One such festival is the Vertical Movie festival in Rome. I was excited to discover that on the 17th September one of my films will be screened as part of their annual programme.
