Description

Melissa McCarthy, Author


In this talk, McCarthy takes us from royal graves at Ur, through nuclear photography, to deep-dive readings of Jaws as a book, film, ichthyology primer, cultural current, and model for literature. She proposes various techniques for navigating spaces, whether conceptual or physical, including: the creative use of surface, an appreciation of the latent image, and an understanding of the fold as a site of information processing.
