Daniel Alexander is a Reader in Expanded Photographic Practice at London College of Communication, and Programme Director of Photography. Daniel’s practice based research uses photography, moving image, 3D scanning and other expanded imaging technologies in the creation of long form projects, disseminated through exhibitions, short films and books. Previous research has explored the role the image plays in commemoration and memorialisation in projects including Brains: The Mind as Matter, commissioned by and exhibited at the Wellcome Collection and When War is Over, exhibited internationally and published as a monograph by Dewi Lewis Publishing. Scales of Resistance, a film made in collaboration with ScanLab Projects and a team of surface chemists and microbiologists from the University of Nottingham who developed methods for visualising scientific data gathered by ‘seeing machines’ at the different stages of the study and prevention of antimicrobial resistance. Daniel’s current research focuses on the social, cultural and political use of the vertical perspective in photography and imaging.
