Vision and movement seem to have shifted center stage in modes of
experience in the last century: as a result of their joint effect,
slow contemplative gazes at static images seem to be increasingly
displaced by distracted "vernacular" ways of seeing. Looking out of
the window of a speeding car, receiving photographs of Earth from
outer space, watching the flickering images of the TV screen,
scrolling through a text, zooming in on a location in Google Earth,
or sending images via mobile phones or webcams - all these are
unique visual experiences that were impossible before various
inventions in the 20th century originated completely new kinds of
movement. The double meaning of "moving images" is meant to signal
the specificality of motion to these imagi(ni)ngs and, at the same
time, to express the emotional power of those visual images which
are able to transcend the constant stream of images in contemporary
perception. (Series: Kultur und Technik. Schriftenreihe des
