Dr. Azadeh Emadi is a Senior Lecturer in Film and Television Studies and the Programme Convenor for the MSc in Filmmaking and Media Arts in the School of Culture and Creative Arts at the University of Glasgow. As a researcher and a video maker, Azadeh Emadi is deeply invested in interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches that cross over diverse cultural forms of knowledge and digital media arts. She applies these approaches to address socio-cultural matters related to media production and to the ways in which digital moving images convey and construct meaning. She does so through integrating theoretical investigation with media production (e.g., experimental video and film, video installation). The underlying focus of her research is to investigate new ways of seeing by applying historical Persian concepts and arts within contemporary Western schools of thought and moving image. Notions such as virtual reality, time and motion, perception and representation, digital im/materiality in the post digital era, as well as digital media and its latent potentialities in relation to real life events and current socio-cultural issues, are the current foci of her research and video practice.
