The Witness was talking with Actor One about the Big Bang being the two carbon arcs of a cosmic cine-projector sparking together to begin the projection upon our mind-streams of the great meta-movie "Let There Be Light". (see: From Genesis to the Brothers Lumière)
   

     
It seemed a little ironic, therefore, that the NGV screen upon which this blog has appeared throughout the time of Melbourne Now was on this occasion sans image.

Caterina the curator called David the techie.

The Witness documents their archetypal TAR Act : STABAT REGARDER

It begins :
 ] We behold ( Through a glass, darkly
   

   
This is the iconic Stabat Mater scene : grieving figures (Mary and John The Evangelist) to either side of the Four Right Angles of the Apocalypse upon which The Logos is projected and Labelled.
      

This version is by the Master of Catherine of Cleves, 1438 

Loss of Light : Black Screen
] To Be ( Created in the Image of Darkness
Resurrection, reincarnation, resuscitation or reboot?
