Paul Atkinson (author of SEQUENCE 4.1) is a Lecturer in the School of Media, Film and Journalism (MFJ), Monash University, Australia. His background is in the philosophy of science, media theory and visual culture, which has led to an interest in the relationship between lived time and media form. He has published in a wide range of book collections and journals, on topics that extend from bergsonism, cinema and foreseeability to modern dance and affect theory. He is currently working on a book that examines Bergson’s aesthetic writings and how rates of change affect visual form as well as a series of articles that explore the relationship between process philosophy, aesthetics and narrative.

Russell Glasson (co-editor of SEQUENCE Four) is visiting lecturer in Transmedia Cultures at the University of Brighton. His research uses a variety of ethnographic and discursive methods to explore the impact digital materiality has on the reception of media, both in content and form. With Grant, he is founding co-editor of SEQUENCE.
