The arrival of television is the event which set in motion one of the greatest “existential” crises the cinema has known – a crisis which is barely coming to an end now that the supremacy of “videocinema” (defined as a phenomenon which brings together everything pertaining to this cinema, located outside the classical framework delineated by projection) is ensured by the domination of the digital over all audiovisual media. The authors of this article, after having associated this “videocinema” with a possible “third birth” of cinema, with reference to debate around the “telecinema” of the 1940s and 50s, propose to raise up the bélinographe (one of the earliest devices for transmitting photographs across distances in a fast and simple manner) as an emblematic benchmark for understanding television, videography and, more broadly, the digital image as part of an “archaeology of the desconstructed image.”
