The invisible shapes of things past

An interesting artistic project by the ART+COM collective, called The invisible shapes of things past, aims at moving film away from mimesis by spatializing it. It is certainly refreshing to see such a project in an age in which the culture industry clings ever so tightly to mimesis. when one can hardly imagine movies like The love of zero, Man with a movie camera, or mastarpieces of expressionism like Metropolis being produced. It seems that Adorno was right when he wrote that it is quite possible that a movie that conforms to all standards of the Hayes office would have artistic value - just not in a world in which a Hayes office exists.
