Itineraries of walking and footwear on film

June 7, 2022/in Book Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2022_#Rumors /by Greg DeCuir

Over the past two decades, there has been growing scholarly interest in walking, as evidenced by an increasing number of publications, workshops (or sometimes ‘walkshops’), and other events dedicated to the topic.

The form and technology of videographic cinema

June 7, 2022/in Book Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2022_#Rumors /by Greg DeCuir

The surge of scholarly interest in the essay film has brought to light Theodor Adorno’s analogy in The Essay as Form that is as fruitful as it is intuitive: ‘The way the essay appropriates concepts can best be compared to the behavior of someone in a foreign country who is forced to speak its language […]

The Golem in the age of artificial intelligence

July 6, 2020/1 Comment/in Spring 2020_#Intelligence /by Greg DeCuir

What can the Jewish myth of the Golem teach us about artificial intelligence? This article explores the Golem as one of the earliest AI prototypes and a myth that became a foundational story of sci-fi cinema. The Golem sets the parameters of opposition between men and intelligent or sentient machines, and at the same time points to possible third options beyond the dialectic of control.

A Machine for Viewing

July 2, 2020/in Audiovisual Essays, Spring 2020_#Intelligence /by Greg DeCuir

by Richard Misek In 1970, experimental filmmaker Peter Kubelka designed a cinema auditorium for Anthology Film Archives in New York, in which ‘shell-like’ seats and reams of black velvet caused all but the screen to disappear into darkness.[1] He referred to his Invisible Cinema as ‘a machine for viewing’.[2] Though the movie theatre is now […]

Megaphone, Molotov, Moviola: 1968 and Global Cinema / Celluloid Revolt

June 14, 2020/in Book Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2020_#Intelligence /by Greg DeCuir
