Amoebic shapes populate Lye's drawings, films, painting and sculpture from the 1920s to the 1970s. Gestating, absorbing and dividing, they reference our cosmic, psychological and biological development, linking notions of time (khronos) and the body (soma). Curated by Tyler Cann, Len Lye: Chronosome featured some of Lye's first and last works including Lye's first animated film Tusalava (1929) , a mythological narrative of the primordial beginnings of organic life.

Download or read book Animating Film Theory written by Karen Redrobe and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animating Film Theory provides an enriched understanding of the relationship between two of the most unwieldy and unstable organizing concepts in cinema and media studies: animation and film theory. For the most part, animation has been excluded from the purview of film theory. The contributors to this collection consider the reasons for this marginalization while also bringing attention to key historical contributions across a wide range of animation practices, geographic and linguistic terrains, and historical periods. They delve deep into questions of how animation might best be understood, as well as how it relates to concepts such as the still, the moving image, the frame, animism, and utopia. The contributors take on the kinds of theoretical questions that have remained underexplored because, as Karen Beckman argues, scholars of cinema and media studies have allowed themselves to be constrained by too narrow a sense of what cinema is. This collection reanimates and expands film studies by taking the concept of animation seriously. Contributors.

Book excerpt: "An unparalleled exploration of the art of cameraless photography, Geoffrey Batchen's Emanations offers an authoritative and lavishly illustrated history of photographs made without a camera. The book reveals the myriad approaches that artists have employed to create photographic images using only a light-sensitive surface and a source of radiation. Looking back to the invention of photography in the early 19th century up through recent cameraless works by contemporary artists, Emanations tells the story of nearly 200 years of bold experimentation in photography."--Provided by publisher.
