"Yes," agreed Varney, "and that is probably the explanation. An artist puts down what he sees and what anyone else would see and recognize. A photograph puts down what is there, regardless of how the scene would look to a spectator. Consequently, it is full of irrelevant detail, which gets in the way of the real effect as the eye would see it; and it may show appearances that the eye never sees at all, as in the case of Muybridge's instantaneous photographs of galloping horses. A photograph of a Dutch clock might catch the pendulum in the middle of its swing, and then the clock would appear to have stopped. But an artist would always draw it at the end of its swing, where it pauses for an instant, and that is where the eye sees it when the clock is going."

I just got "A Tenth of a Second" by @canales.bsky.social and this is R Austin Freeman from 1925

When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities

Very proud of #ACLS "the plaintiffs — the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Historical Association, the Modern Language Association, and the Authors Guild — argue that DOGE illegally took control of the agency"

LOVE that book, and your 10th of a Second Book.

Thank you!

Thank you! Totally recommend

Thank you!

Of course! I have gotten so much out of “Bedeviled” and “The Physicist and the Philosopher”, so I should be the one thanking you ☺️

thinking about Jimena Canales, Tenth of a Second; D&G, 1000 Plateaus; Foucault on power&resistance; Barthes' Camera Lucida. Any readings on movements & dynamics in political, musical senses?
@alc0fribas.bsky.social are there perhaps accessible works in history of maths for non-expert mathematicians?

Thank you!
