ART FLOW
Exploring Perception Through Photography and Epistemology
From Disinformation to Sensory Awareness
Throughout David Deighton's epistemological explorations into disinformation, polarization, and active listening, he found his attention drawn toward the periphery of perception.
Capturing the Edges of Experience
This shift led to a photographic flow of images, videos, and ongoing investigation, documenting moments that exist just beyond immediate awareness.
Photography as Process: From Documentation to Future-Oriented Practice
Moving Beyond Memory and Archive
The difference with Deighton's earlier visual documentation was a transition away from memory or legacy toward material that could inform future work.
Slowing Time and Expanding the Present
This evolving approach attempts to slow down time while deepening attention to the present moment, reframing photography as an active, forward-looking process.
The Transformative Nature of the Practice
Art as Ongoing Investigation
The process itself is transformative—shaping both perception and artistic direction through continuous engagement.
