Jonathan Wilkinson, has just returned from Siggraph in Los Angeles
with his latest video work, a series of interactive films focused on
the re-interpretation of familiar landscapes. This work was supported by the British Council.

Jonathan's work effortlessly references painting, film-making and
gaming cultures. His influences include the films of Polanski and
the paintings of Edward Hopper while calling to mind problem solving
computer games such as Myst. His works somehow suggest to viewers that they are to search for something in the films, a clue, a link
or a meaning.

Each of the films possess a luscious aesthetic yet leaves the
viewer guessing at deeper symbolism. Underlying the richly visual
and aural experience is a sense of loneliness and emptiness.

Jonathan has work at the New York Independent Film Festival in
November and is currently working on an experimental piece for
