November 23, 2018/in Autumn 2018_#Mapping, Features

by Rossella Catanese and Jussi Parikka Introduction: Counterpractices in artist-run film labs It is safe to say that much of the contemporary artistic practice with moving images is concerned with materiality and technique.

Border crossings: Serial figures and the evolution of media

November 23, 2018/in Autumn 2018_#Mapping, Features

by Shane Denson and Ruth Mayer translated by Abigail Fagan[1] Media’s influence on narrative form and subject matter is never fully transparent, but its impact manifests especially in cases of serial narration and particularly in the production of what we call ‘serial figures’. In these contexts, media do not just serve as narrative platforms, but […]

Cinema, meteorology, and the erotics of weather

July 10, 2018/in Features, Spring 2018_#Resolution

by Emil Leth Meilvang The birth of cinema is clouded in myth. Dramatised anecdotes speak of the mythical screening of Louis Lumière’s Le Repas de bébé (1895), this fragment of early film in which a baby is being fed in a windy, sunlit garden. The story goes that the properly captivating aspect of the fragment […]

Interactive media and imperial subjects: Excavating the cinematic shooting gallery

July 10, 2018/in Features, Spring 2018_#Resolution

by Michael Cowan Archaeologies of interactivity If media history has gained anything from the recent archaeological turn, it is perhaps a much-needed scepticism towards ideas of a digital ‘revolution’. Whether examining the ‘Victorian Internet’,[1] fin-de-siècle Skype,[2] the pre-history of mobile phones,[3] or early forms of interactive cinema, the archaeological approach can reveal that modes of […]

December 6, 2017/in Autumn 2017_#Dress, Features
