The LLMVC’s George Washington Wilson Centre for Visual Culture and the Centre for History and Philosophy of Science, Technology and Medicine would be delighted if you could join us for our next free online event ‘Filming Fly Eggs: Time-Lapse Cinematography as an Intermedial Practice‘ by Dr Jesse Olszynko-Gryn (University of Strathclyde) on Wednesday 15 September 11am, via Teams:
https://www.abdn.ac.uk/chpstm/event/upcoming-events/15-september-2021/
The seminar is Co-hosted by the George Washington Wilson Centre for Visual Culture and CHPSTM
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.
