The DEPARTMENT FOR IMAGE SCIENCE presents:
=> REMIXING CINEMA: FUTURE AND PAST OF MOVING IMAGES <= Danube
TeleLecture #4: Thursday, Nov 8, 2007 - 7pm CET Live debate at the MUMOK
in Vienna
Lev MANOVICH, internationally renowned media and art theorist
(Russia/USA) Sean CUBITT, expert in film and media theory (Great
Britain/Australia)
Cinema as a visual phenomenon has accelerated increasingly over the last
decades. Technical achievements at the material level like new
participatory models driven by the melting of Internet, Databases, TV
and Cinema are setting new standards and bringing a new dynamic to the
black-box of the movie theater.
Remixing, Coding, Remapping, and Recombination of visual manifestations
are revolutionizing the narrative form of film - new societal phenomena,
like the VJ scene, generate immersive viewing spaces and new forms of
moving image distribution. The domain of video, film, computer and
net-based installations stands on the threshold of a material
revolution: do they bring a new aesthetic?
Revolutionary possibilities in camera and projection techniques offer
increasingly faster development cycles that also allow for innovative
image languages. New historical perspectives of the cinematic revue
coalesce with innovative interpretations of our visual consumer culture
and foretell future developments. What can be expected ... what are the
consequences?
