Discussion & Screening “Natural History on Film — Constituting Universal Knowledge Through Images”
Intermediatheque
Finished
SHARE
To record all the events occurring in the world, and to possess it: such a thought is no more a scientific fantasy. With the dissemination of video sharing on the internet, a participative constitution of knowledge has become possible on an international scale.As early as 1951, under the name of Encylopedia Cinematographica, the Research Institute on Scientific Film in Göttingen started a project consisting in the recording on 16-mm film of every possible movement in the world, ranging from nature to human society, with the aim of widely sharing the collected data.The archive comprising more than 2000 volumes is divided into three categories (Biology, Ethnology and Science & Technology), and reflects the state of the world half-a-century ago. In Japan, the whole archive is held by the Shimonaka Memorial Foundation. The IMT College will welcome Natural History scholar Hiroshi Aramata for a discussion accompanying the screening of this precious collection of scientific film. While enjoying the projection of original 16-mm film, a debate will be ensued on the possibility of construing the world through images.
