Kit Mead makes composited moving image collages, sculpture and durational prints that respond
to how digital technologies manipulate and modify reality. Applying cinematic techniques, his digital video
work uses non-linear narratives, repetitive structures, montage and irrational cuts to explore different
temporal experiences in an attempt to create forms of time travel.
