Action Replayed!: How Watching Sport Changed the Way We See the World

The emergence and global dissemination of the new medium of photography 
notably coincided with the rise of organized sport in the modern world. 
Contrary to popular perception, sport was one of the earliest themes 
embraced by early photographers, although limitations in early 
photographic technology inevitably restricted the possibility for 
capturing sporting action.
Significantly, it was a strong desire to achieve this goal that 
motivated some of the earliest attempts to animate photographic images 
into coherent sequences, thus allowing the detailed study of sporting 
motion. At the same time this work opened a new field facilitating the 
use of animated imagery to study and perfect training regimes and 
protocols for high performance athletes. The paper will look at the 
impact of sport on the early development of chronophotography 
considering the impact this had on subsequent developments within 
animation and sport.

Life Imitating Art

Drawing on research and expertise from 2014’s major exhibition Pitch to 
Pixel: The World of Football Gaming, this talk highlights key points of 
intersection and overlap in the realms of sports, broadcasting and video 
gaming: Expect a pixelated, glitchy, insight into the emergence of new 
technologies, changing modes of representation, cross-industry 
investment and the obsessive pursuit of realer than real environments 
and experiences, all of which are ”…in the game”.
