Description
Cinema has undergone a profound technological shift, with digital media replacing celluloid film in its production, distribution, and reception. Markos Hadjioannou explores this transition to understand how digital movies depict the world and engage with individuals. Hadjioannou examines the technical basis of the image, considering the creative and perceptual activities of moviemakers and viewers. He grounds his analysis in film history, theory, and philosophy, investigating how digital cinema configures its engagement with reality and the individual. The author observes that digital representations are graphic renditions of mathematical codes, whose causal relations are more difficult to trace than those of celluloid film. Ultimately, Hadjioannou concludes that the question surrounding digital cinema is one of ethical implications - a question of the individual's ability to respond to the image of the world.
