The DEPARTMENT FOR IMAGE SCIENCE at Danube University 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, 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?
