JAMES ELSE
RESEARCH
Outside of his practice-based research in music composition and filmmaking, James is particularly interested in the abstract connections that can be made between different artforms, artworks and ideas. As such his research profile covers a wide range of subjects including movement research, and visual, conceptual and performance art.
Most recently James has been exploring the possibilities that Virtual Reality offers movement based artists and looking at the paradox of art in a research context.
