Age of the Image

Series 1 Episode 1: A New Reality

James starts at the beginning of the 20th century, when an explosion of scientific and technological advances created radical new ways of looking at the world. Revealing Salvador Dali's debt to Einstein, the groundbreaking trickery of Buster Keaton, and shockingly modern fakery of WWI photos, James Fox offers an endlessly surprising, eye-opening look at the beginnings of our image-saturated age.
