O możliwości kina biologicznego i post-ludzkiego. Między etologią, „assistive technologies” i cybersztuką

Author(s): Anna Maj / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper deals with the new form of imagery and narration from the border of new media art and science (“assistive technologies”, ethology, primatology). It describes relatively new cultural practices of using tablets in communication with people with the spectrum of autism and in interspecies communication with primates. The consequences in the area of communication stemming from the ease of usage of such interfaces, communication competences formed in these processes and semiotic status of such images are presented in detail. These examples will be compared here with certain creative projects from the area of cyberarts (which are also scientific in character), leading to the conclusion that the art, especially images, but also the cinema, may be created not only by humans and for humans, but also by other living organisms and for other living organisms, not necessarily conscious of the ongoing process. The projects presented here in details are: “Cinema for Primates”, “The Cell Camera”, “I’m Humanity”, and “Metabol A.I.”. The paradoxical status of the biological cinema, the post-human cinema or “the not-for-humans cinema” is analysed in relation to the broader anthropological and communication insight. We observe the consequences of such artistic and scientific activities for the understanding of the new imagery, the ubiquity of new visual technologies (postmedia) and the human condition.

Ekonomia uwagi w ekosystemie mediów

Author(s): Michał Derda-Nowakowski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper describes certain problems of the economy of attention in the contemporary ecosystem of media in the context of networking based on the myth of liberal democracy. It compares the “ubicomp” paradigm with the problems of user experience, the issues of media agenda-setting and global possibilities of social engineering. This applies mainly to the manipulation of emotions which create the image of the world. The problems of user experience are presented also in the context of multitasking interface design. The attention of the user became one of the most important elements of the economic game, where participants are the owners of the interfaces and the content providers.

Kino w wirtualnej rzeczywistości, wirtualna rzeczywistość w kinie. Manifestacja kinostalgii czy mediofilii?

Author(s): Adam Andrysek / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The objective of the article is the analysis of virtual reality in the context of two forms of audiovisual experience – cinestalgia and mediaphilia. The author defines title concepts, proving the symbiotic character of cinestalgia and mediaphilia through a detailed description of two interesting elements of the contemporary audiovisual landscape, i.e. cinema in the virtual reality and virtual reality in the cinema. The analysis of cinema in the virtual reality is taken up using the example of the Oculus Video application. The author examines digitally created spaces of the cinema lobby and virtual screening rooms. By juxtaposing them with “real” cinemas, he emphasizes differences and similarities between these spaces, including the level of reception experience. In the section devoted to virtual reality in the cinema, the author describes attempts to introduce the medium of virtual reality within the traditional cinema space and draws attention to the problems resulting from such activities. In this article two spaces of the IMAX VR Center are also analysed, being an example of the so-called location-based VR. These spaces, created by IMAX, are one of the most distinct examples of symbiosis of cinestalgia and mediaphilia.

Jest mur – nie ma muru, czyli niewidzialna granica w filmach Defy

Author(s): Andrzej Gwóźdź / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The author points to the absence of the Wall in the film representations of Berlin – the capital of the GDR. If the Wall appeared in films (mainly in dialogues), it was tabooed as a symbol of a protective shield against the West, for instance in „And Your Love Too” („…und deine Liebe auch”, 1961) by Frank Vogel or „A Right to the Jaw” („Der Kinnhaken”, 1962) by Heinz Thiel. The absent iconography of the Wall was consistently supported by the construct of the enemy from behind the Wall – the inviolable figure of exclusion from both the political and the cultural order of the GDR. Still, even though in East Berlin locations the presence of the Wall used to be ignored, the underlying image of it often accompanied stories in films, like in „Generation 45” („Jahrgang 45”, 1965), Jürgen Böttcher’s shelved film. The strategy of tabooising the presence of the Wall was sporadically accompanied by the practice of ignoring its horror and making it mundane, for instance in the representations of the Brandenburg Gate as a monument that covers the Wall („Hostess”, 1975, by Rolf Römer). As late as in „The Architects” („Die Architekten”, 1990) by Peter Kahane – from the time of the breakthrough – the Brandenburg Gate appears along with the full spectrum of oppression of the architecture, which makes one realise the lack of communication between the eastern and the western parts of the city.

Pornografia u Jeana‑Luca Godarda

Author(s): Barbara Kita / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

In culture and cinema, pornography and eroticism are current issues which have never ceased to arouse profound emotions. This paper focuses particularly on pornography, nudity, and eroticism in Jean‑Luc Godard’s films with regard to the mainstream films, the latter ones absorbing pornography as cinema has changed whereas the cultural taboos have been broken down. For Godard, a director who is fond of identifying grave problems by means of shocking the audience, the aforementioned tropes are useful tools. Initially, Godard employs nudity in order to emphasise the commercialisation of the everyday life and the imperfection of the social relations based on production and exploitation. Since the 80s, he aims at reaching the mystery of the film image by means of almost pornographic frames. However, in Godard pornography loses its inherent pornographic effect: its frames are cold, boring, and repetitive; deprived of excitement, they connote nearly medical images. Considering the violence of the political states, totalitarian systems, and murders in general, what is, in fact, the rape on the screen or the rape of the screen? This is the question the director seems to pose.
