@jhv Yeah, am really interested in the impact on viewers who subsequently made their own visual art. Movies could be produced for various aspect ratios because a theater projection screen could accommodate that variation. Blow up an analog image large enough, and you can get away with a lot. Broadcasting those films over television was always going to involve compromises. There are still compromises for digital, just of a different sort. There is no ideal mode of visual representation. My interest is in how those compromises impact the aesthetic sensibilities of folk who would become visual artists in subsequent generation, using different technologies, with different compromises, but nonetheless having their way of seeing and representing images shaped by the jank of televised Saturday afternoon matinees.
