This talk investigates time-lapse cinematography as a hybrid, intermedial practice.
To interrogate practices of authorship, publication, copying, storage, and especially distribution, it recovers the history of The Embryonic Development of Drosophila melanogaster, a film made by Eric Lucey at the University of Edinburgh in 1956. An unusually rich archive makes it possible to recover uses and reuses of time-lapse footage in research, teaching, and other forms of communication.
Biography of Speaker: Jesse Olszynko-Gryn is a historian of science, technology, and medicine at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. His first book, A Woman’s Right to Know: Pregnancy Testing in Twentieth-Century Britain, is under contract with MIT Press.
