>Remembering Los Angeles in the Digital Age: Pat O'Neill's The Decay of Fiction
>Edward Dimenberg
>Los Angeles artist and special effects virtuoso Pat O'Neill filmed 
>The Decay of Fiction (2002) in the landmark Ambassador Hotel, once 
>the center of Hollywood celebrity culture. His film blurs the 
>boundaries between architectural investigation, urban documentation, 
>and aesthetic exploration. At once a poetic homage to classical film 
>genres, it is also a suggestive indication of how remembering the 
>city is changing in response to new technologies. Edward Dimendberg 
>is Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies, Visual Studies, 
>and German at the University of California, Irvine. He is author of 
>Film Noir and the Spaces of Modernity (2004), co-editor of The 
>Weimar Republic Sourcebook (1994), and currently serves as 
>Multimedia Editor of the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians.
