On Thursday 23 January, the day before the screening of Vertical Cinema, UCLA- professor Erkki Huhtamo will prelude the programme with the lecture Up and Down the Shaft of Time: An Archeology of Verticality. He will elaborate on verticality as a cultural phenomenon.
Traditional cultural forms have normally emphasised horizontality. Verticality on the other hand, closely linked with urban and industrial developments, has become ever more important. This lecture presents a tentative archaeology of verticality, excavating its manifestations within technological and mediatized realms.
