What happens when we suddenly feel that a moving image is being
slowed down or halted? Nowadays it happens all the time in the
cinema and the art galleries. A basic question of life - is it
still or is it moving? - here urgently addresses emotional and
aesthetical issues as well as questions concerning media. The
still/moving image compels a new sensibility. Eivind Rossaak's
highly original media aesthetic analysis of the arts explores how
the malleability of the speeds of motion instantiates odd
relationships between different art and media forms. Three works
are exemplary: Larry and Andy Wachowski's The Matrix, Ken Jacobs'
Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son, and Bill Viola's The Passions. The last
chapter calls for a "Politics of the Slow." This book is part of
the emerging still/moving field within the interdisciplinary study
of visual culture, cinema, new media and the arts. "The usefulness
of this book lies above all in the judicious and felicitous choice
of contrasting complementary case studies, each of which is given a
highly original historical placement and subjected to a complex and
multi-layered historical hermeneutics," Professor Thomas Elsaesser
writes.
