Textul de pe ultima copertă
At
once
both
timely
and
historically
grounded,From
IBM
to
MGM:
Cinema
at
the
Dawn
of
the
Digital
Ageexplores
the
history
of
cinema's
earliest
encounters
with
computers,
as
film-makers
responded
to
the
flurry
of
digital
devices
that
emerged
in
the
post-war
decades.
Capturing
the
fervour
and
fears,
hysteria
and
hyperbole,
technophilia
and
technophobia
of
a
crucial
period
of
digital
revolution,
film-makers
in
a
range
of
contexts
sought
to
respond
to
the
computer
as
a
new
technology,
one
with
profound
significance
for
cinema
and
the
wider
world.
Whether in films in which computers 'starred' on screen (from Jean-Luc Godard'sAlphavilleand Stanley Kubrick's2001: A Space Odysseyto Walter Lang'sDesk Setand Michael Crichton'sWestworld) or in those produced using this same technology (the films of John Whitney, Stan VanDerBeek and other pioneers), what the cinema of this era shared was a willingness to engage with the computer head-on, exploring and exploiting the essential qualities of new tools as connections were forged between the worlds of cinema and computing.
