Keynote / Oscilloscope Imagery in Early 1950s Experimental Film
Ljubljana / 06.10.18 / 20:00
This talk explores films from the early 1950s that merged electronic images with cinematic procedures, such as animation and montage. This combination of cinematography and oscillographics marks a shift from the mechanical-kinetic to the analog-electronic paradigm. With concrete examples, the role of sound, space, and abstraction will be examined.
