In search of Annie Ernaux

IN THE WINTER OF 1972, around the time Manhattan gallerygoers were immersing themselves in Memory—a sprawling installation comprising over a thousand tiled photographs and several hours of tape-recorded text amassed by the American poet Bernadette Mayer—the French writer of memory Annie Ernaux and her then-husband, Philippe, bought a Bell and Howell Super 8 camera. Mayer, who died this year and who in life seemed ahead of the future, once imagined "a computer or device that could record every...

Shuttered Room - The - 1967

Dan Roberts wrote on We Are Cult: ‘The Shuttered Room’ (1967) revisited ❉ The Red Door is opened one more time… [link ] A question to ponder. How many times should you watch a film in order to decide if you like it or not? This is something which has bubbled up recently with a film I first saw in 1981. I was eight years old and completely obsessed with horror films. Mainly old ones. My constant companion at that time was Alan Frank’s Horror Film Handbook and to me it was the King ...

Mirror-less camera (thing) See all of Mirror-less camera, no other writeups in this node. There are lots of different types of camera out there, from pinholes that you can make yourself using a cardboard box, to large format cameras that use one sheet of film per exposure, via instamatics and 35mm single lens reflex (SLR) cameras. Recently, however, there has been a trend towards 'mirror-less cameras'. They are commonly seen as a bridge between compact cameras and SLRs, but there's a b...

(idea) by bitter_engineer Thu Apr 06 2000 at 17:33:17 In a camera, the f-stop number is the ratio of the length of the lens to the diameter of the aperture. Higher f-stop numbers give you a greater depth of field. At the extreme end, a pinhole camera will give you almost total depth of field. On your fancier cameras with zoom lenses, the hyperbolae on the barrel of t...

Review: Life Is Strange: True Colors Makes It Too Easy to See the Game’s Flaws

Alex Chen, the protagonist of Life Is Strange: True Colors, describes her hidden superpower as a curse. And over the course of five chapters that hold the series’s traditional decision-making and character-building at bay, players may feel as if this leaden game is itself cursed. Alex’s power of empathy—as opposed to the first Life Is Strange’s time manipulation gimmick and the sequel’s focus on telekinesis—serves a singular passive purpose across the campaign as she interacts with puzzles an...

Does Technology Have a Soul?

learza (Alex North) from Australia, Aibos at RoboCop, 2005, CC BY-SA 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons. When my husband arrived home, he stared at the dog for a long time, then pronounced it "creepy." At first I took this to mean uncanny, something so close to reality it disturbs our most basic ontological assumptions. But it soon became clear he saw the dog as an interloper. I demonstrated all the tricks I had taught Aibo, determined to impress him. By that point the dog could roll over, shak...

Experimental Cinema of Neelon Crawford

Working primarily with a hand-wound 16mm Bolex, Neelon Crawford made a series of experimental films from 1968 through 1980. Shot in the US, the United Kingdom, and South America, the films explored light and movement in a variety of landscapes. Crawford manipulated the image through film stocks, filters, frame rates, double- and triple-exposures, animation, editing, and printing, at times adding soundtracks to imagery that ranged from observational to abstract.Crawford’s films were featured i...

When Was the First Movie Camera Invented?

Do you know when the first movie camera was invented? Or who created it?  Film history is a funny thing. See, the invention of the movie camera was a huge event but was sort of sidelined as a carnival attraction. At the time, no one knew that it would be such a formative experience for the human race.  No one could have foreseen the vast implications.  Today, I want to go into the history of the invention, its impact, and learn about who created it.  So, let's ...
