dc.description.abstract	This paper considers creative approaches engaging the body of digital video in relation to the outside world, drawing on Persian Islamic philosopher Mulla Sadra's (1571-1641) theory of "al-harakat al-jawhariyya" (Substantial Motion). For Sadra, the world is constantly changing in its substance. Substance is not fixed, as other philosophies suggest; rather, it is an act of existence, a process. Resisting fixity, this process emphasizes time and motion. Sadra's theory, alongside Deleuze's approach toward the point of view of non-human subjects, suggests new possibilities for the moving image.	en
