CAMERA OBSCURA
LUMIERE FILM
ONE INFINITE LOOP
JOHN SANBORN

Cinema has become an Entertainment Industry. The computer will re-shape how we live in the next century and how cinema is made.

At One Infinite Loop, workers leave the Apple Computer building. They are the equivalent of the Lumiere workers....a century later.

In 1895 the Lumiere brothers shot the first motion picture at their family's factory in Lyon, France. The workers are mostly women, some commute by bicycle. This film, Workers leaving the Factory, is the visual moment of the invention of cinema !

The Camera Obscura, as an invention, dates from the Renaissance - about 1550. Photography, adding a lens and a means of capturing the image, on a "plate", was an early ninteenth century invention, but today

.Photography can no longer make a claim of truth.
