Étienne-Jules Marey

Étienne Jules Marey

In the 19th century

•New technologies produce sense of time-space compression (instant communication via the telegraph, for example) 

•New ways of measuring time and experiencing vision as a result of railway travel 

•Beginnings of globalisation 

•Invention of photography and then cinema opens up new ways of “slicing” time. 

•'discussion of photography is dominated by the concept of time. Photographs appear as devices for stopping time and preserving fragments of the past, like flies in amber’ -Peter Wollen (in “Fire and Ice”)

My experiments.

For our purposes an image like this there are lot’s of visible moving elements, the students walking by and lot of additional detail. I experimented with using different exposure and timimg. 

Yesterday afternoon me and my friends set up a still life studio, for photographing commercial style and the ideas was to capturing slow motions, freezing motions by using the objects we brought, also my tutor left some objects for us too use. For example: #eggs, #wine glass, #food colours, #balloons, #bubblegum. ..ect.

edweard muybridge

here’s my theory

edweard muybridge

was actually a horse

and he made a deal with the other horses that if

that if

when he took that picture of one of them w/ all their feet in the air

that he would give that horse all his horse money

but he never did

and he still gained world wide film fame from it

he was never a horse again

His works is beautiful.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Ori Gersht, an Israeli-born artist who has spent the last fifteen years exploring the territory in which violence and beauty overlap, often with a special focus on how a landscape can bear witness. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has just opened a mid-career survey of his work titled, “Ori Gersht: History Repeating.” On view through Jan. 6, the show was curated by Al Miner.

In the second segment, I’ll inaugurate what will be become a regular feature on the program over the next year or so: Jackson Pollock’s landmark 1943 Mural is in the collection of the University of Iowa Museum of Art, but for the rest of this year and next it will be at the Getty for conservation treatment. “Mural” is one of the most important paintings of the 20th century. As long as Mural is at the Getty, I’ll be checking in with the conservators working on it to hear about what they’re doing with it and what they’re learning about it. My first guest in that series will be Yvonne Szafran, the conservator of paintings at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
