(In the case of men, this activity is often athletics;
in the case of women, the photographed motions are often more socially
circumscribed -- the moving of a fan, for instance.) The site allows viewers
to examine these sequences in miniature and full-screen sizes as well as
to watch continuous animations made from the series of still frames, thus
realizing Muybridge's anticipation of motion pictures. Accompanying commentary
explores the technique of Muybridge's work as well as its scientific and
social implications.
