    2010-2011 Penn Humanities Forum on Virtuality. The idea of a moving image poses a nearly paradoxical form of virtuality. Can an image move and still be an image? Is such movement an illusion? What, finally, is a “moving picture”? Tom Gunning, distinguished authority on early film and its emergence from still photography and other nineteenth-century innovations, is uniquely qualified to place such questions in a broad context of early modernist culture. Explore with him the invention of virtual motion.
