In this SPARKS offering, artist and animator Kaeti MacNeil will share the story of her award-winning short film Carasoul: a Portrait in Nth Dimensions alongside reflections first shared in her interview for the Novel Becomings blog. Carasoul explores the unseen layers of human experience, depicting memory, sensation, and imagination as tangible forms that extend beyond the body. Blending stop-motion paint and digital animation, Kaeti visualizes how consciousness takes shape in time, and how Whitehead’s process-relational ideas resonate through artistic practice.
Following the presentation and interview, participants will be invited into a creative reflection session. Using Carasoul’s imagery and process philosophy as inspiration, guests will reflect on a life experience through writing, drawing, gesture, or another mode of expression. This session offers a chance to explore one’s own moments of becoming and to share insights with the wider SPARKS community on Mighty Networks. >>RSVP
