Eivind Røssaak Oslo, Berlin and New York, March/April Introduction The Still/Moving Field: An Introduction Eivind Røssaak This collection of essays seeks to introduce an affirmative critique of and fasci- nation for the different uses of stillness and motion in a wide variety of expres- sions – pre-cinematic, cinematic, post-cinematic and new media. The debate on stillness and motion is as old as art history, but within cinema studies, it became the subject of widespread debate during the s. At its root, it was informed by apparatus theory and the idea of negating movement through enlighten- ment. Its axiom was that cinematic movement is an illusion, that movement is an “ideological effect of the cinematic apparatus.” Any artistic deconstruction of motion through ruptures or the revelation of a series of stills was rapidly integrated into this critical program. The still image was the hidden or even repressed basis behind the industrial illusion of cinematic motion. Today, we are experiencing a broad range of cinematic turns within the art scene as well as a technological revolution through the use of computer-gener- ated imagery, which means that the entire critical program, based as it was on the materiality of celluloid, has lost some of its initial urgency. The use of the interplay between stillness and motion must be recontextualized. Fresh con- cepts are needed to see these works in a broader, more complex media aesthetic environment. We want to investigate the possibility of a thicker description, which allows contributors to discover and open up the field through close ana- lysis of specific works and media practices. Contemporary media rely on a com- plex connection between the forces and intensities of time and speed relations, which affect the body of the spectator or user. The body is not just the carrier of a personal history, but a storage site and an intensified receptive surface in a media-saturated society. Thus, the body belongs to a history of media and med- iations. A crucial part of this embodied media history involves the encounters with audiovisual material such as in Tobias Rehberger’s work On Otto, dis- cussed in Ina Blom’s article. Mediations and bodies participate in a larger collec- tive and technical environment, which instantiates and re-imagines the history of media and affects. 12 Eivind Røssaak From Optical Toys to Computer Imaging In a strange way, the history of images between the still and the moving returns to the very origins of cinema; in fact, even earlier. The viewing pleasure of pre- cinematic optical toys such as the thaumatrope, the stroboscopic disc and the phenakistiscope stems from the paradoxical difference between what they look like before and after the toy is activated. It is a mind-blowing ride from stasis to kinesis and back. Early film exhibitors also addressed this experience. They were concerned with demonstrating the abilities of the new medium of the ciné- matographe, as the Lumière Brothers called their multipurpose machine. Time and again, they would astonish their audiences with their special presentation technique. Initially, the brothers Lumière presented the moving image as a pro- jected still, before the projectionist brought the image to life by cranking up the machine. One hundred years later, one of the most striking features in contemporary cinematic practices in movie theaters, art galleries, and new media platforms is the frequent use of slow motion and other techniques of delay. It is as if the moving image has become increasingly refashioned in the direction of demon- strating its abilities to remain motionless, or to move in ways that are barely visible. Several moving image artworks, particularly the ones in galleries and museums, seem to excel in featuring indiscernible differences between motion and stillness, in stops, still frames, freeze effects, slow-motion effects, and even stuttering. According to art historian Boris Groys, the contemporary cinema of delay and slow motion – from The Matrix to Hour Psycho – negotiates with its other – immobility – as a way of understanding its relationship to both earlier forms of representation and to the mediascape of the contemporary con- sumer. As Groys writes, In the course of its long history of antagonism between the media, film has earned the right to act as the icon of secularizing modernism. Inversely, by being transferred into the traditional realms of art, film itself has, in turn, increasingly become the subject of iconoclastic gestures: by means of new technology such as video, computer, and DVD, the motion of film has been halted midstream and dissected. In this way, cinema comes to reflect upon its destiny in a new media environ- ment. The contemporary examples are many: from Bill Viola to Douglas Gor- don, Sam Taylor-Wood, Sharon Lockhart and others. While some artists prefer the latest media techniques like digital artist Jim Campbell, others hark back to earlier techniques or combine new and old techniques like in the avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs’ most recent works. The Still/Moving Field: An Introduction 13 We have also seen a growing awareness and conscious reflexivity regarding mediation and new technology in pop videos as well as in commercial cinema. Directors like Michel Gondry operate in both fields. The fame of a blockbuster movie like The Matrix (Andy and Larry Wachowski, ) rests to a large ex- tent on its striking use of special effects such as the so-called bullet-time effect. This was a new, never-before-seen combination of slow motion and frozen movement effects that was immediately copied in countless other cinematic practices around the turn of the st century. These experiments are now often mimicked in vernacular video and disseminated on platforms like YouTube. The Spanish artist

  • Animation: Types
    Animation: Animation is a dynamic medium in which images or objects are manipulated to appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today most animations are made with computer generated (CGI). Commonly the effect of animation is achieved by a rapid succession of sequential images that minimally differ from each other. Apart from short films, feature films, animated gifs and other media dedicated to the display moving images, animation is also heavily used for video games, motion graphics and special effects. The history of animation started long before the development of cinematography. Humans have probably attempted to depict motion as far back as the Paleolithic period. Shadow play and the magic lantern offered popular shows with moving images as the result of manipulation by hand and/or some minor mechanics Computer animation has become popular since toy story (1995), the first feature-length animated film completely made using this technique. Types: Traditional animation (also called cel animation or hand-drawn animation) was the process used for most animated films of the 20th century. The individual frames of a traditionally animated film are photographs of drawings, first drawn on paper. To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one before it. The animators' drawings are traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets called cels which are filled in with paints in assigned colors or tones on the side opposite the line drawings. The completed character cels are photographed one-by-one against a painted background by rostrum camera onto motion picture film.

    CLONES, BONES AND TWILIGHT ZONES: PROTECTING THE DIGITAL PERSONA OF THE QUICK, THE DEAD AND THE IMAGINARY By JosephJ. Beard' ABSTRACT This article explores a developing technology-the creation of digi- tal replicas of individuals, both living and dead, as well as the creation of totally imaginary humans. The article examines the various laws, includ- ing copyright, sui generis, right of publicity and trademark, that may be employed to prevent the creation, duplication and exploitation of digital replicas of individuals as well as to prevent unauthorized alteration of ex- isting images of a person. With respect to totally imaginary digital hu- mans, the article addresses the issue of whether such virtual humans should be treated like real humans or simply as highly sophisticated forms of animated cartoon characters.

  • Introduction Examples of Early Animation
    Sabine Fox, 21101363 Introduction Animation first started out as still drawings, such as in cave paintings, which depicted animals or humans with multiple sets of legs, giving the illusion of movement. There has also been an ancient bowl found in Iran which features sequential images of a goat leaping to a tree. When putting animation into context of portraying actual movement by using mechanisms and sequential images, the earliest known animation was created for devices of Chinese inventor Ting Huan in 180 AD. The device was an earlier version of the zoetrope, where it held a series of drawings that rotated when the device was suspended over a lamp. When rotated at the right speed, it created an illusion of movement. Examples of early animation Thaumatrope, 1826, created by English physician John Ayrton Paris. -- It consisted of a disc with two images on opposite sides that merged together when the disc was quickly spun using strings. An example is a bird on one side and a cage on the other. In 1831 Joseph Plateau created the phenakistiscope -- a wheel that had slits around the edge. Under each slit were images on a paper slip that are almost similar to one another, and when the wheel is spun facing the mirror, the images appear to move. The zoetrope, designed by William George Homer in 1834 but wasn’t widely used until 1867. The device was similar to how the phenakistiscope worked -- did not require a mirror to see the images and was moved by turning the cylinder around. It also allowed for the images to be changed, which wasn’t possible with the phenakistiscope.

  • Moving Pictures: the History of Early Cinema by Brian Manley
    Discovery Guides Moving Pictures: The History of Early Cinema By Brian Manley Introduction The history of film cannot be credited to one individual as an oversimplification of any his- tory often tries to do. Each inventor added to the progress of other inventors, culminating in progress for the entire art and industry. Often masked in mystery and fable, the beginnings of film and the silent era of motion pictures are usually marked by a stigma of crudeness and naiveté, both on the audience's and filmmakers' parts. However, with the landmark depiction of a train hurtling toward and past the camera, the Lumière Brothers’ 1895 picture “La Sortie de l’Usine Lumière à Lyon” (“Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory”), was only one of a series of simultaneous artistic and technological breakthroughs that began to culminate at the end of the nineteenth century. These triumphs that began with the creation of a machine that captured moving images led to one of the most celebrated and distinctive art forms at the start of the 20th century. Audiences had already reveled in Magic Lantern, 1818, Musée des Arts et Métiers motion pictures through clever uses of slides http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Magic-lantern.jpg and mechanisms creating "moving photographs" with such 16th-century inventions as magic lanterns. These basic concepts, combined with trial and error and the desire of audiences across the world to see entertainment projected onto a large screen in front of them, birthed the movies. From the “actualities” of penny arcades, the idea of telling a story in order to draw larger crowds through the use of differing scenes began to formulate in the minds of early pioneers such as Georges Melies and Edwin S.
