Lecture/discussion with Lev Manovich, media artist/lecturer/theorist and co-author/creator of Soft Cinema and author of The Language of New Media, and Sean Cubitt, media theorist/historian and author of The Cinema Effect and Digital Aesthetics.
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?
