The Centre for Moving Image Research focuses on practice as research within the production and display of moving images in cinema, television and in gallery exhibition. CMIR’s research areas are aesthetic, cultural, historical and technological. We are interested in how the history of the moving image has been rolled back beyond the birth of film, beyond Michael Faraday's experiments with electro-magnetism, beyond Joseph Baptiste Fourier's invention of discrete cosine and wavelet transforms, back to al-Kwarizimi’s invention of the concept of the algorithm in the ninth century. We are interested in how innovations in technology, art and culture affect the production, content, politics and understandings of the value and meaning of moving images.
