Re: w07 Art Technology Science Culture Research

1. Gustav Metzger - Auto Destructive Art Gustav Metzger wrote proposal for large-scale public pieces that would destroy themselves overtime. I found these interesting because these pieces are programmed to degenerate themselves and have an actual lifespan. Here’s an example of one of his proposals: ...

Re: w06 Belief in the Image

Legrady makes many valid points in his article focused on the authority of the image. The photograph has held historical significance in the belief that it portrays the truth.

Re: w02 Chronophotography & Marey

Steve Mamber writes, “Marey’s chronophotographs are constructed to reveal the hidden, not record the already visible.” I found Mamber’s “Marey, the analytic, and the digital” interesting because he touches on the difference views Marey and Lumiere had for the future of the motion that was being capt...
