My Tuesday






Today I am following a lecture in The History of Media Arts, where we among other things discuss old films like this. I really like the colors, the movement and the mystery of it being so old and soundless. I can watch it over and over again. The film is from 1896, and the dancers name is Loie Fuller.

Må jeg spørge, hvad det er du studerer?

@Ditte: Ja, man får jo nærmest lyst til at springe ud i noget tilsvarende...
@Michelle: Selvfølgelig må du spørge! Jeg læser Digital Design & Kommunikation på IT-Universitetet. Lige nu er jeg på udveksling i Media Lab på Aalto University i Helsinki. Jeg har en bachelor i journalistik fra Danmarks Medie & Journalisthøjskole...

@Anne-Marie: Jeg har ikke sat mig ind i det tekniske, men her er en beskrivelse: "

This 1896 Lumière Brothers film captures a performance of Loïe Fuller’s “Serpentine Dance.” No, there was no LSD in the 1890′s, but yes, there were colorized films. In the technique used above, each frame was individually hand-tinted using stencils and colored dyes. It was a laborious, manual process, and it was first employed to recreate Loïe Fuller’s stage magic; acclaimed for its early use of chromatic theatrical lights that illuminated the dancer’s flowing white silk."
