The Transparency of Spectacle: Meditations on the Moving Image

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the transformative impact of digitization on cinema, emphasizing a significant shift in how spectators engage with visual images. Dixon argues that the process of digital manipulation turns raw visual material into an artificially polished product, distancing it from the original photographic representation. This evolution reflects broader economic changes in late 20th-century film production, highlighting the implications for the viewer's experience and the authenticity of cinematic imagery.
