    Description

    Dr. Keith Williams from the University of Dundee discussed how each text imagined the visual technology of the future. Drawing on the cutting-edge science of the late 19th Century, Wells was able to predict the development of new media including cinema, television, virtual reality.....even the internet! In particular Wells's writings on how we observe the World influenced one of Britain's pioneering film-makers, R.W.Paul at the very dawn of the cinematic age.
