What defines "the classical screen"?
The "classical screen" is essentially a flat, rectangular surface, it is intended for frontal viewing, rather than panoramic. The screen exists in our space, our body, and acts as a window into another space. The other space, is a space of representation and typically has a scale different from the other.
What was the computer screen specifically developed for?
The computer screen appeared in the middle of the 20th century for military purposes, but it does not get a public presence until much later. Back then it was not used for so called public entertainment, but for surveillance.
What is the 3rd type of screen after classic and dynamic?
This is called the screen of real time. With such a screen, images can change in real time, reflecting changes in the referent. This also allows for the image to be updated in real time. In older photographic technologies, all parts of the image are exposed simultaneously, while with the real time screen, an image is produced through sequential scanning. The different parts of the image correspond to different moments in time.
How does the Peter Greenaway film comment on the screen in the author's view?
He sees the film as a metaphor for a tendency in the Western screen-based apparatus. Here the body must be fixed in space if the viewer is to see the image at all. The imprisonment of the body takes place on a conceptual and literal level. both appear in the screen apparatus.
How is representation vs simulation represented in mosaics and frescoes vs renaissance paintings? In naturalism?
Frescoes and mosaics represent an illusionary space that begins behind the surface of the image. The mosaics and frescoes are immobile and stationary. In contrast the painting is movable, can be separated from the wall and moved anywhere. A painting reprents a virtual space that is distinct from the physical space.
