TOPIC: Remixing Cinema: Future and Past of Moving Images

Cinema as a visual phenomenon has accelerated increasingly over the last =
decades. Technical achievements at the material level like new =
participatory models driven by the melting of Internet, Databases, TV =
and Cinema are setting new standards and bringing a new dynamic to the =
black-box of the movie theater. 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?

Sean CUBITT, Australia: "Immersion, Connectivity, Conviviality"
Lev MANOVICH, USA: "After Effects, or Invisible Revolution"
