In the Episode 1 James fox documentary the age of the image talks about time, moment and trying to find the 4th dimension and different artist view on this.
In the Video Age of the Image (2020) James's fox says, " We take more photographs every minute then we made in entire 90th century" And average spending 6-8 hrs. looking at screen. We are population of image addicts as we now take more than a trillion photographs to capture every aspect of life to make experience meaningful this represents the age of image.
Paul Cezanne and Thomas Edison, who were both attempting to discover dimensions like four dimensions and depict time and moment via pictures, are credited with starting the new visual era. To capture motion on celluloid film, William Dakson created a motorised camera. This device quickly rose to industry standard status and contributed to the development of modern cinema (it creates an illusion like photographs are moving). The Lumiere brothers introduced motion pictures to theatres in the 1890s. Kodak's launch of the brownie camera transformed the photography industry as it reached millions. Now everyone could take pictures. Jack Henri Lartigue took a tonne of pictures for fun and to preserve memories in an album. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, which states the time can be stretched by powerful gravitational forces, Light can be bent by space, and space can be bent by mass that revolutionised perspectives in 1905. Later, Arthus Eddington used a solar eclipse which helps to prove that light can be bent under the general theory of relativity. In their study of fourth-dimension time, space, matter, and other concepts, Marinetti and Umberto Boccioni examined spatial continuity.
Beginning with, the compositing and manipulation Hurley merged several negatives into one convincing image. So, it becomes challenging to distinguish between real and fake. Modern movies now use this method. The development of the halftone method, which divided images into thousands of different-sized dots (pixels) to make them simpler to print, resulted in the widespread use of photographs in newspapers around the end of the 19th century. At the beginning, there were very few photographs in newspapers. To eliminate uncertainty and make things appear smooth, filmmakers created several editing techniques around 1910, such as the continuity system. However, Keton and Dali wish to defy the laws by experimenting with mirror images, double images, and toying with time and space in ways that are inspired by Einstein's theory of relativity, as shown in BEND TIME, 1931. Dr. Harold Edgerton used strobe light to slow or freeze time in the 1920s. All these accomplishments are now a part of our everyday life (BBC Age of Image 1 – New Reality, 2020).
