Having read a fair few books on Eadweard Muybridge over the years, I was delighted to see some of his actual works at the Tate Britain yesterday.
Given the proliferation of Young Turks these days (myself included), it is quite humbling to think that he pioneered things like timeslicing, 3D, panoramics and, of course, locomotion/animation well over 100 years ago.
Not only that, but he also managed to find time to kill his wife’s lover. The heartless cad!
For those of you fortunate enough to be close to the exhibition, I would definitely recommend a visit. For all you in virtual-land I would try the following in the first instance : Wikipedia, The Collection, The Guide and Google. Exhibition details are here...
