Cinema in Digital Media
-----------------------

This talk is about digital media - its technological base, its visual 
language, and its aesthetics - through the history of cinema. I suggest 
that a number of key principles, which we associate with digital media, 
such as sampling, random access, and the database, were already present 
in cinema from its first days. I also argue that digital media brings 
back pro-cinematic techniques which characterized the moving image in 
the nineteenth century and which were suppressed or eliminated by the 
twentieth century institution of cinema.
