Picture
An image or picture is a visual representation. An image can be two-dimensional, such as a drawing, painting, or photograph, or three-dimensional, such as a carving or sculpture. Images may be displayed through other media, including a projection on a surface, activation of electronic signals, or digital displays; they can also be reproduced through mechanical means, such as photography, printmaking, or photocopying. Images can also be animated through digital or physical processes. In the context of signal processing, an image is a distributed amplitude of color(s). In optics, the term ''image'' (or ''optical image'') refers specifically to the reproduction of an object formed by light waves coming from the object. A ''volatile image'' exists or is perceived only for a short period. This may be a reflection of an object by a mirror, a projection of a camera obscura, or a scene displayed on a cathode-ray tube. A ''fixed image'', also called a hard copy, is one that has bee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moon Pix
''Moon Pix'' is the fourth studio album by Cat Power, the stage name and eponymous band of American singer-songwriter, Chan Marshall. It was released in September 1998 on Matador Records. Much of the album was written in a single night, following a hallucinatory nightmare Marshall experienced while staying at a farmhouse in South Carolina. Prior to that, Marshall had intended to retire from music. The album was recorded in Melbourne, Australia with Mick Turner and Jim White, of the Australian instrumental band Dirty Three, on guitar and drums, respectively. Released to modest acclaim, the album has since been described as Cat Power's "magnum opus" and "one of the Nineties great singer/songwriter triumphs." In 2022, it was ranked at number 66 in '' Pitchfork's'' "The 150 Best Albums of the 1990s" list. Composition Several songs on ''Moon Pix''— "No Sense," "Say," "Metal Heart," "You May Know Him" and " Cross Bones Style"— were written "in one deranged night," following a ...

Pix Capri Theatre
The Pix/Capri Theatre is a historic movie theater in Jackson, Mississippi. It was built in 1939 as the Pix Theatre, on the historic US Highway 51, known as North State Street, in Jackson. In 1957, the Pix ceased its operations. In 1965, it was sold to Cinema Guild Inc. which reopened it as The Capri Theatre. While initially successful, the development of multiplex theatres in the metro Jackson market forced the Capri to begin relying on second run films in the late 1970s. By the early 1980's, the Capri had begun showing X-rated films in order to remain open to the public. By 1985, the Capri had closed. The Pix/Capri was designed by a Jackson architect named James T. "Jack" Canizaro, who was also an investor in the project. On the 8th of August 2002, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History designated the building as a Mississippi Landmark A Mississippi Landmark is a building officially nominated by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and approved by ea ...

Glass Eye Pix
Glass Eye Pix is an American independent film studio based in New York City, New York known primarily for producing horror films. History Film director Larry Fessenden founded Glass Eye Pix on November 2, 1985 in order to copyright his own films, including ''Habit, Wendigo'' and ''The Last Winter''. The name came from a glass eye one of his friends gave to him as a gift, combined with the old lingo from the trade magazine Variety which called movies "pix". The company eventually grew to encompass others' works as Fessenden began to mentor younger filmmakers. Glass Eye Pix's low-budget horror banner, Scareflix, was designed to create lean budgeted, auteur-driven films from new directors. Scareflix productions include Glenn McQuaid’s '' I Sell the Dead'', Ti West's '' The Roost'' and '' Trigger Man'', James Felix McKenney's ''Automatons'' and '' The Off Season'', and '' I Can See You'' and ''The Viewer'' by Graham Reznick.

Mary Pix
Mary Pix (1666 – 17 May 1709) was an English novelist and playwright. As an admirer of Aphra Behn and colleague of Susanna Centlivre, Pix has been called "a link between women writers of the Stuart Restoration, Restoration and Augustan literature, Augustan periods".

Pix (magazine)
History The first edition of Pix magazine was published on 29 January 1938. Initially a weekly publication, it came out every Wednesday. Australia was emerging from the depression years and PIX reflected the more optimistic and liberal mood of the colony in its sesquicentennial year. Editor Lionel B Foster wanted to create a new kind of weekly, one with a focus on telling stories using photographs which would challenge and confront as much as comfort the reader. Initially, 48 pages long, the images within the covers were beautifully rendered using the gravure process. Whilst Lionel Foster was intent on providing quality and attention to detail he was determined to also present them in a vivid and striking manner. As Foster put it, ''Only pictures that have a real interest will be published. Some of them may be bizarre even to the point of starkness. Many could hardly be called beautiful yet all will be unusual striking and packed with news and interest''. In May 1951 PIX maga ...

PIX (Microsoft)
Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. Originally, the names of these APIs all began with "Direct", such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth. The name ''DirectX'' was coined as a shorthand term for all of these APIs (the ''X'' standing in for the particular API names) and soon became the name of the collection. When Microsoft later set out to develop a gaming console, the ''X'' was used as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate that the console was based on DirectX technology. The ''X'' initial has been carried forward in the naming of APIs designed for the Xbox such as XInput and the Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT), while the DirectX pattern has been continued for Windows APIs such as Direct2D and DirectWrite. Direct3D (the 3D graphics API within DirectX) is widely used in the develop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Motion Picture
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films. ...
