MURAL Epoch, Patrick Nagatani, 1996.TOURING THE GATEWAY TRANSIT CENTER (Los Angeles), by Robin Dunitz, MCLA Tour Director. '... Inside this Boardroom Entrance Area is Patrick Nagatani's 'Epoch.' The theme of this collage is transportation, both from an individual and a global perspective. It uses NASA photos of the earth as seen from space, more than 500 portcards, and in the center an image from Eadweard Muybridge's pioneering photographic studies, published in 1887, on human locomotion. It was this depiction of Muybridge's nude men in motion that caused a short-lived controversy when the mural was unveiled. It was even covered for a day or two, until others protested such prudishness. Original prints of Muybridge's revolutionary work (it changed forever how artists represent human movement) are viewed daily by visitors to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu.

Epoch, Patrick Nagatani, 1996. Collage Mural. MTA building, 3rd level. For some time, part of the mural was covered due to a complaint regarding the naked male figure from Muybridge's 'running man' photographs. For more information on this, read: Richard Simon, 'Art buffs back buff art', Los Angeles Times Metro section (January 19, 1996), p.1+.

PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS Yosemite: Its Wonders and Its Beauties (1868) by John S. Hittell. Photographs by Eadweard J. Muybridge "Helios".
Yosemite: Its Wonders and Its Beauties was an early guide book to Yosemite. Some claim this was the first Yosemite guide book. Hittell's book was not highly original (it quotes heavily from books and accounts by Josiah D. Whitney, Samuel Bowles, Horace Greeley, and Thomas Starr King). However, the book is interesting because it is the first Yosemite book with photographs. It has 20 original photographs by early Yosemite Photographer Eadweard Muybridge. These were albumen photographs tipped in by hand in every copy of the book. John Hittell commissioned Muybridge ". . . because no engravings could do justice to the scenes, or convey perfect confidence in the accuracy of the drawing of such immense elevations as those of Tutucanala and Tissayac." - Text from this website:

STEREOGRAPHS Lone Mountain College Collection of Stereographs by Eadweard Muybridge, 1867-1880.
The Muybridge Lone Mountain Collection of photographs consists of 1700 stereographs, 6 albums and 39 individual photographs taken during the years 1867 to 1880. Most of the albums contain single stereo size images arranged in Muybridge's series number order and are imprinted with his "Helios" trade name. These albums may represent his own record of his work. He spent most of his time from 1867 to 1873 photographing California, Alaska and the Pacific Coast; this work is documented in Catalogue of Photographic Views Illustrating the Yosemite, Mammoth Trees, Geyser Springs, and Other Remarkable and Interesting Scenery of the Far West, by Muybridge, published by Bradley and Rulofson in 1873.

A Dream of Pastures: Nuit Blanche 2008 (Hindson F Chan)

A Dream Of Pastures is an interactive sculpture and animated light projection. On a gallery or public exterior wall, the familiar form of a horse glows. On a pedestal several meters in front of it, a stationary bicycle beckons for investigation from the viewer.

As the viewer pedals the bicycle, he discovers that the phantom horse moves accordingly, animated by a nearby system of projecting lights and turning gears. The viewer pedals more vigorously, the gears rotate at a quicker rate, and the horse breaks into a gallop. Sitting in the saddle, the viewer creates a shadow that lines up with the horse, casting himself as a jockey in the projected world, galloping through the empty pastures of a fictitious landscape at an exhilarating pace.

A Dream of Pastures debuted to a one-night audience of over 60 000 viewers, and over 1000 riders as part of Toronto's Nuit Blanche festival in 2008.

James Burke : Connections, Episode 9, "Countdown", 4 of 5.
Before Adam Hart-Davis there was James Burke. From the popular 70s tv series. Plenty of half-right statements on the soundrack, but interesting as one of the few re-enactments of the Palo Alto photography to be committed to film.

THEATER, VIDEO, RADIO Muybridge - "Unsupported Transit"
(Genesis Foundation), c.2007.

This project is a cross-genre video opera. OperaGenesis has been working in partnership with Opera North's Dominic Gray to develop this piece about photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge. After initial work at the ROH in early 2007, the project has been rehearsing in Leeds, and a fully staged studio version of the latest draft was performed to an invited audience in Opera North's the new studio theatre in November.

The project is fascinating for its simultaneous and integrated use of live singers, chamber ensemble and video cameras. At present OperaGenesis is discussing with Opera North revisions sto the work to create a more compact, accessible version for performance. It is also possible that the piece might have a future directly to screen as a short TV opera (the writer and composer both having worked extensively in television), or even as a radio opera (on the model of Dominic Muldowney's Red Razzamatazz, a Radio 3 commission).
