Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of the television and film work featuring myxomycetes before introducing The Creeping Garden, directed by Tim Grabham and Jasper Sharp, a rare example of an independently-produced feature-length documentary intended for a general audience that focuses on scientific subject matter. The issues surrounding the communication of factual information in visual and audial form about an organism that occupies a different timescale and perceptual world to humans is explored, before the various representational techniques of time magnification, sonification, musification and simulation are introduced as potential ways of providing new insights into the natural world.

The birth of cinema is commonly held to be 28 December 1895, when Auguste and Louis Lumiére unveiled their Cinematograph camera/projection machine at the Grand Café in Paris (Fig. 6). It was the first commercially successful device capable of projecting larger-than-life-size images captured from reality onto a large screen so that, unlike Thomas Edison’s earlier peepshow device the Kinetoscope, they could be viewed by more than one person at a time. Various other contenders to who “invented” cinema abound, such as the German Skladanowsky Brothers, Max and Emil, who some two months prior, on 1 November, 1895, had projected pictures to the paying public at the Berlin Wintergarten, using their Bioscop camera/projector invention.
