The sensation of forward movement is something that we walking humans pretty much take for granted these days. The sense of lateral motion, however, is historically a rather more recent phenomenon, made possible by the inventions of our mechanical age. From palanquins and horse-drawn carts to trains and cars, our perception of speed has grown increasingly faster. Now with visual information taken over by increasingly powerful computers, a strange spectacle arises. (From the 2000 IFF catalogue)
