Abstract
tx-transform is a new film technique that transposes the time axis (t) and the space axis (x) with one another in film. Familiar cinematic conventions are thus turned upside-down: space becomes time and time becomes space. Normally, each individual frame of film depicts the entire space but only a moment in time (1/24 second). With tx-transformed films, it is just the opposite: each frame shows the entire time but only a tiny portion of space (the left side of the picture is “before,” the right side is “after”).
