The roots of media, from film to virtual reality
The author notes the current trend of watching films on a computer while riding a train, changing the relationship between sight and speed that was at the birth of cinema. Also important is the change from single-projector projection, where one film is watched by a larger number of people, to "cinema-car" where a larger number of "projectors" broadcast a number of films to the same number of people. The paper analyses the connection of cinema with the phenomenon of travel, examining all the transformations and the path that led to them.
