the ontological shift from analog to digital and how it changed the landscape of cinema
“Digital media redefines the very identity of cinema…what used to be cinema's defining characteristics have become just the default options, with many others available. When one can "enter" a virtual three-dimensional space, to view flat images projected on the screen is hardly the only option. When, given enough time and money, almost everything can be simulated in a computer, to film physical reality is just one possibility.”
