Public lecture on time in physics and photography tonight at Tallinn Art Hall
11.10.13
On 11 October at 6pm Tallinn Photomonth will present a public lecture by professor Jaak Kikas, entitled “On time – in Physics and in Photography”. The lecture will take place at Tallinn Art Hall and is part of the public programme of Shadows of a Doubt, the international exhibition of Tallinn Photomonth.
Along with space, time is one of the central cateogries which shapes our perception of the world. Photography is often thought of as “frozen time”, but the notion of time itself has undergone huge changes since Newton. In the secondary world created by photography – image world – the viewer acquires something that would be unimaginable in the “real” world – the ability to timetravel. The presentation will explore the similarities in and differences between physical and photographic time. Possible developments will be speculated upon.
The lecture will be broadcast on Estonian Public Broadcasting’s Vikerraadio.
