Media Archaeology’s Object of Research Anything but (Javanese and Balinese)
Wayang Kulit Performance?
“Wayang” = Cinema Layar Tancap Layartancap.com Indonesia’s Youtube

Media Archaelogist
Elsaessers: “For the history of early cinema in
expanded field can, as indicated, provide many names of inventors, showmen, and bricoleurs, whose ways of thinking about moving images, about sound-and-image combinations, about simultaneity and interactivity landed them in dead-ends, at least from the retrospective teleology of the traditional “birth” of cinema” (Elsaesser: 2005, 22).
![Page 14: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Media Archaeologist
Elsaesser: In old film history, the history was
written by the winners only. But in so-called new film history, “the losers” can once more have a place, and even rediscover losers in the past who turn out to have become if not the winners, then the great-grandfathers of the winners (Elsaesser: 2005, 22).

Media Archaeologist
Edwin S Porter vs D.W. Griffith (Noel Burch’s 1978 essay)
Edison or Lumiere the headline of Der Komet, September 26, 1896
Lumiere Brothers: The Father of Documentary or The Father of Documentary?
How about Skladanowsky, Oscar Messter (Germany), William Friese Greene (Britain), Francis Jenkins, Latham family (USA), etc?

Elsaessers and Wayang
“One of the most persistent assumptions—and perhaps the foundational gesture on which all histories of the cinema has been based—is that of inevitability of cinema. Like a baton relay, or the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, from Plato’s parable of cave and Balinese shadow-plays, from Leonardo’studies of water in motion to Alberti’s treatise on the laws of perspective, from camera obscuras and mechanical drawing aids to magic lanterns, fog pictures and fantasmagorias, from dioramas and phenakistoscopes to thaumatropes and chronophotography, historians have beet at pains to line up, indifferently, philosophical speculation, scientific experiments, aids to observation and drawing as well as optical toys, in order to give the appearance of logic and cogency to the cinema’s creation myth: the moment when on Marc 21st 1895 the Lumiere Brothers projected their first film….(Elsaesser and Hoffman: 1997, 46).

Wayang Kulit & Media Archaeology No appropriate research and
exploration on Wayang Kulit performance
![Page 18: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Questions:
To what extent can we consider Wayang Kulit Performance as Part of pre-Cinema History?
Focus: Projection and Screen Wayang kulit performance vs Layar
Tancap
![Page 19: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Theories
Terry Castle:” Phantasmagoria: Spectral Technology and the Metaphorics of Modern Reverie”
broadening meaning of Phantasmagoria: as mental activity and a cultural practice, and psyhological term
The importance role of projection in Phantasmagoria
![Page 20: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Phantasmagoria- as a cultural practice - as a mental and physical activity - as a theoretical concept in
psychoanalysis

Theories
Lev Manovic:Towards an Archaeology of the Computer Screen: 3 types of Screen:- Classical screen: a flat, rectangular surface- dynamic screen: cinema, television, video- real-time screen: radar, video liveThe idea of temporality: classical = a static
permanent image; dynamic = moving image of the past; real-time shows the present
relation between the space of the viewers and the space of representation

Wayang Kulit at Glance
>The shadow theatre has existed, in the lands between Turkey and China.
Indonesian shadow puppet performances originated in India
Came to Bali from Java between the 11th and 14th centuries.
An 11th century Balinese royal inscription mentions a wayang performance.
Earliest record: Central Java, 907 AD with story: Bimmaya Kumara (Claire Holt, Art in Indonesia, p 128)
> In Bali, Wayang Kulit performances are sacred and form part of many ceremonies in village and family temples.
3 functions : instructive, entertaining and religious. Chinkah in Bali in 1846. The king of Klungkung gave a
performance for him.

Archaeology of Projection Blencong: the Lamp:
![Page 26: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Archaeology of Projection dhalang manipulates the puppets,
making them closer or farer from the lamp to create particular “special effects”
In phantasmagoria : the figures move back or forward toward the projection.

Plato’s Cave, Phantasmagoria, Wayang Kulit Show, Modern Cinema- projected in the darkened space- revealing a narrative about another world in another space- Which has a direct bearing on
the here and now(The Cinematic Mystical Gaze: The Films of Peter Weir,
Richard James Leonard, Cinema Studies Program,
University of Melbourne)

Wayang, Cinema, and Modern World
In Malaysia:
> Wayang = FilmPawagam = Panggung, Wayang, Gambar (Stage, Shadow, and Image) = Cinema
![Page 29: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Archaeology of Screen
Screen in Wayang Kulit shows varies greatly in size
![Page 31: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Manovich's Theory on screen Screen in Wayang Kulit:A usual screen display in, a
flat,rectangular surface, intended for frontal viewing = Classical Screen
it can displays images changing over time = Dynamic screen
it is more closer to television viewing than cinema viewing = the show can become a social gathering, the spectators can choose either to completely merge with the screen’s space or do any other activities (chatting, smoking,etc)
doesn’t fit real-time screen
![Page 32: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Manovich's Theory on Screen Wayang’s screen does not fit any of the
definitions: It is not permanently set in a building. Dhalang
can set-up the mobile screen anywhere, as requested by the host
the spectators can watch both sides of the screen
spectators are not always immobile or imprisoned in a viewing situation
Other theory: the PRIMITIVE period: the viewers were free to interact, come, go,and maintain a psychological distance from the cinematic diegesis
![Page 33: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Tanceb concept
similar with Layar Tancap (mobile cinema show/outdoor cinema).
![Page 34: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Layar Tancap
older than (indoor) cinema) The name “layar tancap” was
adopted for Indonesia’s Youtube = www.layartancap.com
Wayang Kulit’s screen as the ancestor of Layar Tancap?
![Page 35: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Layar Tancap vs Wayang Kulit show Both have tanceb concept Both are not shown in a fixed
building Both’s Spectators can watch both
side of the screen Both are elements of a larger celebration
![Page 36: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Layar Tancap vs Wayang Kulit show Both can be considered as social/political gathering = Golkar Party’s celebration!
![Page 37: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Clip
Wayang Kulit Performance : the projection and the screen
![Page 38: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Conclusion
“new” film history makes film scholars explore the possibilities of the untouchable and unthinkable zones Wayang vs Phantasmagoria = the meaning of wayang is
broadenedHave similarity on how the projection
works
![Page 39: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Conclusion
Wayang’s screen does not entirely fit with Manovic’s definitions on screen
It has its own kind of type It is similar with the screen of Layar
Tancap
![Page 40: By: Ekky Imanjaya – Film program BINUS INTERNATIONAL.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f575503460f94c7ca6e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Conclusion
Wayang Kulit as one of “the grandfathers”
of modern cinema
