Time
‘In a fascinating interview in the New Yorker last
November, Jean-Luc Godard talked about the advances in film-making
techniques but said that he was reluctant to take advantage of “these
digital things” because of the way that time is suppressed by them: “It
doesn’t take any time to get there, the time to unspool in reverse, the
time to go backward. You’re there right away. So there’s an entire time
that no longer exists, that has been suppressed. And that’s why films
are much more mediocre, because time no longer exists.” Discuss.’
The only time content works online is when we deny that
this is an asynchronous media. The only time services work online is
when we accept this is an asynchronous media.
As the man says: discuss.
