Monday, 5 March 2012  Great Cathedrals in Time and Space by Emma
Darwin  If you dropped in at the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern
recently, you might have seen Tacita Dean's work, Film, which
was the twelfth in the Unilever series. I was lucky enough to be
asked by my cinematographer friend Sam Garwood to a private view
for the film industry: the sponsors were companies like Kodak
(sharp intake of breath), the BSC, and Arri. I assumed it would
be the kind of event that I once described to my offspring as
"just a stand-up and shout": long on polite shop-talk and short
on cake and bouncy castles. The only difference from the book-
industry equivalent would be the gender balance and the fact
that I wouldn't know anyone. And, it being February in the dear
old/new Turbine Hall, it would be cold: even the invitations had
suggested that guests might like to Wrap Up Warm.  Yes, it was
all those things but it was more significant than that. Thanks
to the ease and speed of digital - and undeniably the particular
advantages
