little movies >>
"A word is worth a thousand pictures." In this early net
art work by Lev Manovich we see not only cinema's rebirth
online, but also a precursor of the moving images' growing
importance in the text filled internet space

[from the site:]
"Little Movies is a lyrical and theoretical project about the aesthetics of digital cinema, and a eulogy to its earliest form—QuickTime. Beginning with the supposition that every new medium relies on the content of previous
media, "Little Movies" features key moments in the history of cinema as its logical subject... As time passes, the medium becomes the message, that is, the "look," more than the content of any media technology of the
past is what lingers on. "Little Movies" reads digital media of the 1990's from a hypothetical future, foregrounding its basic properties: the pixel, the computer screen, the scanlines."
