By observing a film of dogs walking against a grid the viewer may be reminded of the chronophotography of Eadweard Muybridge and Etienne-Jules Marey.
Chronophotography aimed to capture, "Successive images representing the various positions that a living being travelling at a certain speed has occupied in space over a series of instants." The aim of Muybridge and of Marey, both of whom adhered to a mechanistic view of life, was to scientifically pin down movement.
According to Virilio, Marey used his chronophotography on subjects which were the most uncontrollable formally, like the flight of free flying birds.

 391: manifestos: futurist photodynamism by anton giulio bragaglia, 1st july 1913
We are certainly not concerned with the aims and characteristics of cinematography and chronophotography.
Marey's chronophotography, too, being a form of cinematography carried out on a single plate or on a continuous strip of film, even if it does not use frames to divide movement which is already scanned and broken up into instantaneous shots, still shatters the action.
To put it crudely, chronophotography could be compared with a clock on the face of which only the quarter-hours are marked, cinematography to one on which the minutes too are indicated, and Photodynamism to a third on which are marked not only the seconds, but also the intermovemental fractions existing in the passages between seconds.

Breaking the Black Box: A Reassessment of Chronophotography as a Medium for Moving Pictures
Chronophotography has always been seen as a closely linked predecessor of celluloid moving pictures, especially since both media were able to capture and reproduce physical motions by means of a series of rapidly taken individual still photographs.
Starting from a non-linear perspective that includes all social groups with influence on the technical evolution of chronophotography, and includes a wide range of chronophotographic and early cinema practitioners that reflects the multidirectional attempts at reproducing moving pictures in the late 19

One in which the idealisation of representation is in conflict with the dominant technology which disavowed daily experience as an undifferentiated circulation of metaphors for desire and resistance.
The pseudo-guarantees of objectivity that this scientifically acceptable idealisation could offer, however, outweighed the deficits, and the representation of movement as an incremental sequence in a small finite and discontinuous moment became an acceptable norm to the extent that the subject was indeed collapsed into the object and temporarily 'lost in space'.
However whereas chronophotography chained vision to the materiality of the body, in the post-chronophotographic analogue the principles of similarity, congruency and continuity found new life in the cinema of narrative integration (the movies) which rescued the subject in a seamless reality of the infinitely malleable virtual bodies for whom the eye was transcendent.

Experimentation in chronophotography, by which multiple depiction of the figure were shown photographically frozen* in the process of consecutive movement.
Considering also the recent invention of electricity, of X-rays and of the internal combustion engine (all alluded to in the various Futurist manifestos), a vast number of external factors served to prepare the ground for the exploration of dynamic sensation in abstract art.
His first works to deal with the representation of movement, such as Girl Running on a Balcony (1912) or Dog on a Leash (1912), are rather literal; strongly indebted to chronophotography for the means of conveying motion, they rely on Divisionist techniques to render the forms.

Chronophotography is an art form that uses sequences of images to explore ideas of space, time, movement and duration.
Patrick Tarrant’s ‘Planet Usher’ gives motion and life to an audiovisual archive created by the artist’s brother, who was born deaf and is slowly going blind due to the effects of Usher syndrome, and Darren Almond’s ‘Border’ shows two traffic signs for Oswiecim (synonymous with Auschwitz), the short space between them loaded with meaning.
Paul St George, curator of the exhibition, said, "In the last 100 years chronophotography has been in the shadow of cinema, but it is now emerging once again in post cinema practices, digital art and new experimental photography.

The sequential nature of Carnie’s work is rooted in his joint fascination with the historically pioneering work of photographer Eadweard Muybridge and in contemporary chronophotography - the use of photographic sequencing in modern scientific analysis.
Contemporary science uses chronophotography to develop an understanding of the different biological functions of the body.
Photographs, for example, are taken over time using fluorescent proteins, then combined into sequences, creating quick-time movies that act as tools for viewing the developing human form: the cells of the brain moving into their working position or muscle cells viewed ‘swimming’ to prescribed destinations.

Using transcribing devices, the traces of movements or phenomena that human senses are most often unable to perceive were captured for the first time.
In the 1890's, after studying fish locomotion using chronophotography, Marey sought to understand how a liquid reacts to the passing of any object.
He laid small silver-coloured balls made of wax and resins in water agitated by means of a propeller.

The starting point was a research done on the beginning of photography and the reactions of the other arts, especially painting.
I did a closer examination of so-called chronophotography and cubism in comparison, because these two directions both represent very different artistic and technological approaches to the visual representation of time.
Photography succeeded relatively quickly in freezing increasingly short pictures of “the present” and film as a second (but far from inevitable) step set these images in motion again to create the illusion of movement on a screen.

the influence of Marey's chronophotography (the technique which enables the reproduction of a moving object by the concentration and superposition within one single picture of the successive phases of a short but continuous movement) on Seurat's Le Chahut (a pointillist painting representing a row of dancers).
Chronologically speaking, this relationship is acceptable: Seurat painted his work in 1889-1890, and it is acknowledged that he knew of the experiments of Marey.
A second but similar point could further be made concerning the fields in which the influence of both photographers is to be observed.

 391-31: videodynamism - information
One of the earliest Futurist expressions of this artistic exploration of the moving image, Bragaglia's 1913 manifesto Futurist Photodynamism was intended to reject contemporary methods of cinematography and chronophotography on another basis.
Just as Bragaglia opposed the visual revolution represented by Marey's chronophotography, our digital photodynamism or videodynamism stands in opposition to contemporary chronophotography, for example the 'bullet-time' method brought to prominence in the film The Matrix.
Where the original chronophotography involved placing sequential still photos together to give the illusion of movement, bullet-time uses a sequential photography to slow movement and to 'freeze' the visual environment in space and time, with only the audience remaining in motion around the frozen subject.

Though Marey's subjects were live, chronophotography made life still for the purpose of incremental analysis.
In this way, the scientific ideal of observation is similar to the "controlled trance" that Paul Virilio speaks of, "a control of the speed of consciousness."3 Marey's studies had the effect of flattening movement so that it was unchanging, homeostatic.
In the early days of cinema, just after chronophotography had been reconstituted into moving pictures, audiences were quite satisfied watching simple movements, those of clouds or smoke.4 They also watched films over and over, as once wasn't enough.

The inventor among other things of chronophotography, this famous physiologist devoted his life to the study of movement in all its forms: animal and human locomotion, blood circulation, displacement of objects and fluids, gravity.
Marey was one of the first theoreticians of aeronautics, the study of which led him to his aesthetic apotheosis during the years 1899-1902.

 Who's Who of Victorian Cinema
Demenÿ was Marey's assistant there, and the two researchers produced a considerable body of work, photographing human and animal movement using sequential photography, that is, chronophotography (a camera with fixed plate, and later moving plate, 1882-1888).
On 3 March 1892, Demenÿ filed a patent for the Phonoscope, an apparatus for glass discs (42 cm diameter) with a series of chronophotographic images on their circumference which could be projected using a powerful Molteni lantern.
After the Phonoscope was successfully presented at the Exposition Internationale de Photographie de Paris (1892), Demenÿ dreamed of commercialising chronophotography, and pushed Marey to order the manufacture of six cameras intended for sale.

Chronophotography mapped the kinetic body onto the gridded and regulated spaces of industrial culture: it was both a means of revealing the body and a tool for its containment and control.
Each episode of Winsor McCay's Little Sammy Sneeze, for example, offered systematic and meticulous time-motion breakdowns of everyday activities, but the rhythm of efficient motion is always subverted by the mighty sneeze that turns all to chaos.

The point is to reveal the consistency of the different stages in Marey's work-the graphic method, glass-plate chronophotography, film chronophotography, geometric or diagramatic drawings-the perfect harmony of a project worked out over many years.
The experiments of Duchamp or the Italian Futurists were anticipated in Marey's chronophotography-for example an unbelievable three-dimensional geometrical sculpture of 1895, which irresistibly recalls Boccioni.
A selection of films (the Cinémathèque has 400) is shown throughout the exhibition space, thus giving a real animation to an exhibition devoted throughout to the representation of movement.
