On Interfaces as Moving Image Configurations in Space

Miriam De Rosa

Iluminace 2020, 32(2):35-52 | DOI: 10.58193/ilu.1664  

The article focusses on artistic moving images and takes its cues from Studio Azzurro's Sensitive City (2010) to offer a reading in light of the postdigital that revolves around the concept of space-image. To do so, the author reflect upon space and place, and interrogates the environmental dynamics triggered by screen media interfaces from a phenomenological point of view.

Netnographic Cinema as a Cultural Interface

Chloé Galibert-Laîné

Iluminace 2020, 32(2):53-69 | DOI: 10.58193/ilu.1665  

This article introduces the notion of "netnographic cinema" and contextualizes this contemporary filmmaking practice in the light of Lev Manovich's 1997 article "Cinema as a Cultural Interface". First, I present a corpus of contemporary experimental films that are entirely made of appropriated online media and argue that it is productive to interpret this new filmmaking practice in the light of the history of ethnographic cinema. The second part of the article offers a comparative close-analysis of two netnographic films made from the same online material, but adopting different formal strategies for representing that material: Penny Lane's feature-length...

Mystical-Type Experience at The Virtual Reality Interface. Technics, Aesthetics, and Theology in the Search for Cosmic Connection

Daniel Strutt

Iluminace 2020, 32(2):71-95 | DOI: 10.58193/ilu.1666  

In the context of a recent proliferation of Virtual Reality content that focusses on spiritual, religious or "mystical-type experiences" (MTEs), this article speculates on its cultural and subjective value, to ask if new immersive technologies might offer an enhanced interface to sensations of "cosmic connection". Drawing issues of critical theology and media technology together with a consideration of the aesthetics of mystical or metaphysical experiences, the author asks what specific types of VR content might actually have a capacity to offer sensations that approximate mystical or transcendent experience. Can these then be deployed as healing or...

Iluminace 2020, 32(2):5-29 | DOI: 10.58193/ilu.1662  

This study is a historical research work focused on the specific audiovisual format called television song, which was the music video forerunner made by Czechoslovak Television since 1958. The research is focused on the early years of working with this format until 1968/1970, which was the historical milestone representing the shutdown of the liberalization process in Czechoslovakia following the Soviet-led invasion on 21st August 1968. The aim of this work is to clarify the genesis of the television song format as a part of television entertainment which was the production field for filming this format. This study also proves how elastic the format...
