A seminar presentation: Seeing over Distance, Wednesday, March 4, 12:30pm to 2:00pm, Mackintosh-Corry Hall D411
Already at the dawn of the electric age, the invention of the telephone had unleashed fantasies of seeing over distance. Archival films from over a hundred years ago provide a glimpse into the public imagination, the desires and anxieties of the time. Even then, surveillance was regarded as an unavoidable accomplice of televisual connection.
