![Peter Kubelka - Invisible Cinema (1970-1974)
“Kubelka, for the Invisible Cinema theatre, erected a barrier between each spectator so as to block peripheral vision and ‘make the screen [the viewer’s] whole world, by eliminating all aural and visual impressions extraneous to film.’](http://24.media.tumblr.com/6b3146ea17049d3ca24d1e802bb9f650/tumblr_mk6x7f4NmW1qb1dp0o1_500.jpg)

Stan VanDerBeek - Movie-Drome
«Influenced by Buckminster Fuller’s spheres, VanDerBeek had the idea for a spherical theater where people would lie down and experience movies all around them. Floating multi-images would replace straight one-dimensional film projection. From 1957 on, VanDerBeek produced film sequences for the Movie-Drome, which he started building in 1963.»

Georges Méliès - Portrait of a Man (Gustave Moreau?) (ca. 1883)
Wallraf Museum, Cologne, Germany
“In his trompe l’oeil picture, Méliès depicts himself behind a canvas on an easel, his hands gripped to the sides while his head bursts through and tears the canvas. An image representing the end of painting? Possibly, but the painted inscription on the canvas reads: ‘Ad Omnia Leonardo da Vinci’, ‘To Everything Leonardo da Vinci’ - suggesting that, for the visual artist, everything is derived from the work of Leonardo.”
“Georges’ father arranged a job for him as accounts supervisor in the family business despite Georges wish to enroll at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts to train as a painter. After a compromise, Georges was allowed to take private lessons from, as claimed by his grandaughter Madeleine Malthete-Méliès, painter Gustave Moreau.”
“In 1929, at a gala in his honour, Méliès made his stage entry by stepping through the cinema screen.”
