| Abstract | In 1823 Charles Babbage invented the world’s first computer. In 1923 Kodak invented 16mm film as a way of bringing filmmaking to the masses. In 2023 Dr Daryl Sparkes used an original hand cranked 1923 Cine-Kodak Model-A to create a 9-minute experimental film called “The Troxler Effect” and, in doing so, re-discovered many of the techniques of filmmaking from exactly 100 years ago. Additionally, the film includes scenes manipulated by Artificial Intelligence, which provide the 200-year evolution and synthesis of original technologies from 1823 to 1923 to 2023. The film itself becomes a statement on both the advances and limits to technology as more and more we merge computer code with image reproduction. It celebrates the past hundred years while it heralds the next hundred years in filmmaking craft and technology and asks how much technology radically alters the aesthetics of cinema. |
