  • A 'Proper Point of View'
    A ‘Proper Point of View’: the panorama and some of its early media iterations Early Popular Visual Culture, 9:3, 225-238 (2011) William Uricchio MIT & Utrecht University Abstract: The panorama entered the world not as a visual format but as a claim: to lure viewers into seeing in a particular way. Robert Barker’s 1781 patent for a 360-degree painting emphasized the construction of a ‘proper point of view’ as a means of making the viewer ‘feel as if really on the spot.’ This situating strategy would, over the following centuries, take many forms, both within the world of the painted panorama and its photographic, magic lantern, and cinematic counterparts. This essay charts some of the unexpected twists and turns of this strategy, exploring among others the moving panorama (both as a parallel development to the cinematic moving picture and as deployed by the film medium as a background to suggest movement) and the relations between the spatial promise of the late 19th century stereoscope and that most populous of early motion picture titles, the panorama. The essay focuses on changing technologies and strategies for achieving Barker’s initial goals, while attending to the implications for the viewer. Drawing from the observations of scholars as diverse as Bentham, Foucault, and Crary, the essay uses the various iterations of the panorama to explore the implications of a particularly rich strand of technologies of seeing. William Uricchio is professor and director of Comparative Media Studies at MIT and professor of Comparative Media History at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. 1 A ‘Proper Point of View’: the panorama and some of its early media iterations1 Early Popular Visual Culture, 9:3, 225-238 (2011) http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17460654.2011.601165 William Uricchio MIT & Utrecht University 'I don't have eyes in the back of my head….' is a well known expression.

  • Susan Boardman -- on -- Gettysburg Cyclorama
    Susan Boardman -- On -- Gettysburg Cyclorama The Civil War Roundtable of Chicago March 11, 2011, Chicago, Illinois by: Bruce Allardice ―What is a cyclorama?‖ is a frequent question heard in the visitor center at Gettysburg. In 1884, painter Paul Philippoteaux took brush to canvas to create an experience of gigantic proportion. On a 377-foot painting in the round, he recreated Pickett‘s Charge, the peak of fighting at the Battle of Gettysburg. Four versions were painted, two of which are among the last surviving cycloramas in the United States. When it was first displayed, the Gettysburg Cyclorama painting was so emotionally stirring that grown men openly wept. This was state-of- the-art entertainment for its time, likened to a modern IMAX theater. Today, restored to its original glory, the six ton behemoth is on display at the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center. On March 11, Sue Boardman will describe the genre of cycloramas in general and the American paintings in particular: Why they were made, who made them and how. She will then focus on the Gettysburg cycloramas with specific attention to the very first Chicago version and the one currently on display at the Gettysburg National Military Park (made for Boston). Sue Boardman, a Gettysburg Licensed Battlefield Guide since 2000, is a two-time recipient of the Superintendent‘s Award for Excellence in Guiding. Sue is a recognized expert of not only the Battle of Gettysburg but also the National Park‘s early history including the National Cemetery. Beginning in 2004, Sue served as historical consultant for the Gettysburg Foundation for the new museum project as well as for the massive project to conserve and restore the Gettysburg cyclorama.

  • The Moving Panorama, a Forgotten Mass Medium of the 19Th Century
    Erkki Huhtamo Global Glimpses for Local Realities: The Moving Panorama, a Forgotten Mass Medium of the 19th Century Abstract: Panoramas enjoyed widespread popularity in the 19th century. By a panorama we usually mean a circular 360 degree panoramic painting shown in a cylindrical building erected for the purpose. There were, however, other “panoramic” forms that have fallen into oblivion. This articles analyzes one of them: the moving panorama, a long roll painting moved in front of the audience by means of a special apparatus. The moving panorama was a popular medium that purported to communicate the evolving global experience to local audiences, contributing to the dissemination of audiovisuality and, ultimately, to the formation of the “wired world”. Contrary to the common misconception, the moving panorama was not a simple spin-off of the circular panorama. It had a cultural identity of its own. Most accounts of the moving panorama have failed to grasp both its formal complexity and its cultural significance. This article re-positions the moving panorama within the history of audiovisual media. It begins by reviewing the existing literature on the panorama, explaining why the moving panorama has been neglected as an object of study. The next section outlines its history. The following sections reconstruct, albeit in rough form, the basic features of the aesthetics of the moving panorama. In conclusion, some reflections on the general cultural significance of the moving panorama as a “globalizing” medium will be provided. ****************** "This is, amongst other features which characterise it, an age of Panorama-painting. The public is growing attached to this mode of seeing the world without the trouble or expense of locomotion and this spreading inclination has naturally determined the application of much artistic talent in the direction in question." - Athenaeum, 27th July, 1850 Introduction: Panorama and “Global Vision” I recently made a Web search for "panorama".
