(We’ve included where you can get those that are streaming below.) They’re not all streaming on the major networks, but they can be rented from Amazon, Apple TV+, or YouTube. And if you want to look back even further (as any serious cineaste should), you’ll see that there are lots of movies that you’ve probably overlooked in the past 20 years that are definitely worth revisiting. That said, 2020 hasn’t been a total loss for great movies-as long as you know where to look. Even if you wanted to, it might be hard to name 10 great films that came out this year off the top of your head. Like so many other things in 2020, Hollywood is in the midst of a sea change. We use the most modern digital techniques to show what pioneers such as Robert Hooke (1635-1703), Johannes Swammerdam (1637-1680) and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek saw for the first time in those days.Though awards season is already upon us, it certainly doesn’t feel that way. We receive help from the Royal Society of London and the well-known micro-photographer Wim van Egmond. A pilot in 2019 produced spectacular results. Project leader Eric Jorink: ‘We analyze by reconstructing the groundbreaking seventeenth-century discoveries for the first time, partly with the help of original lenses and preparations. Reconstruction of groundbreaking discoveries Visualizing the Unknown in 17th-century Science and Society analyzes the complexity behind seemingly self-evident scientific images of the micro world. The strategies they developed form the basis of current scientific practice. Looking at previously unknown life forms such as bacteria, sperm and the intestines of insects, seventeenth-century pioneers of microscopy had to develop a new visual language to understand, record and communicate their discoveries.
As the ‘spiky blob’ image of the corona virus demonstrates, the visual representation was way ahead of establishing the scientific facts.
In this project, researchers from the Huygens ING, Max Planck Institute and Rijksmuseum Boerhaave reconstruct how seventeenth-century microscopists visually recorded and shared their groundbreaking discoveries. NWO has awarded a grant from the Open Competition to the project Visualizing the Unknown in 17th-century Science and Society. 12-05-2021 Visualizing the Unknown by Eric Jorink receives NWO Open
