Panorama

A panorama (formed from Greek πᾶν "all" + ὅραμα "sight"), is any wide-angle view or representation of a physical space, whether in painting, drawing, photography, film, seismic images or a three-dimensional model. The word was originally coined in the 18th century by the English (Irish descent) painter Robert Barker to describe his panoramic paintings of Edinburgh and London. The motion-picture term panning is derived from panorama.

A panoramic view is also proposed for multi-media, cross-scale applications to outline overview (from a distance) along and across repositories. This so-called "cognitive panorama" is a panoramic view over, and a combination of, cognitive spaces used to capture the larger scale.

Paintings

In the mid-19th century, panoramic paintings and models became a very popular way to represent landscapes and historical events. Audiences of Europe in this period were thrilled by the aspect of illusion, immersed in a winding 360 degree panorama and given the impression of standing in a new environment. The panorama was a 360-degree visual medium patented by the artist Robert Barker in 1787. He created a picture spectacle, shown on a cylindrical surface and viewed from the inside, giving viewers a vantage point encompassing the entire circle of the horizon, rendering the original scene with high fidelity. The inaugural exhibition, a "View of Edinburgh", was first shown in that city in 1788, then transported to London in 1789. By 1793, Barker had built "The Panorama" rotunda at the center of London's entertainment district in Leicester Square, where it remained until closed in 1863.

Panorama (music competition)

Panorama is an annual music competition of steelbands from Trinidad and Tobago. It is usually held around Carnival time.

History

The first Trinidad Panorama was first held during Carnival celebrations in 1963. A popular Calypso is arranged into a piece for steelpan orchestra with introductions and variations over the theme. "Panorama" steelband competitions are also staged at Carnival time in other Caribbean communities. The first Antiguan Panorama was held in 1949 and was won by Hell's Gate Orchestra.In 1979, Panorama was not held due to Rudolph Charles' fight for higher recognition of pannists.

As part of the International Conference on Pan (ICP) in August 2015, Trinidad will host the International Panorama Competition. The Panorama will be held over a two-day period, 8-9 August 2015. The competition will bring together participants from the approximately thirty-eight (38) steelband-playing countries from around the world to compete against each other for the title of ICP Champions 2015

    PANORAMA

    by: Voivod

    Walking down an alley
    Deep in blue neon
    A dead end for today
    Under skyways worn
    Concrete from far below
    Rising up above
    Surrounded by shadows
    Garden without gods
    All are strangers alike
    All riding the blind
    The purple of blind
    The purple of their eyes
    In reverie unwind
    Circling sub-city
    A rainbow appears
    To calm down the fury
    To calm all the fears
    This random occurrance
    Is only a sign
    Of the incoherence
    In the clockwork mind
    A symphony of our time
    Recalling the past
    People in a decline
    Denying the vibrations we're made of
    Somber drama
    Rolling down hill
    Panorama
    All is so still
    Anyway, anyhow
    Anyhow, anyway
    End of all reason
    Is what I go through
    Yes, it is what I go through
    Slip-sliding nation
    Is what they must do
    Yes, it is what they must do
    Over the greying landscape
    Under a deadened sky
    Sitting on a mountain
    I will stand aside
    As I am a witness
    I turn a blind eye
    I am feeling helpless
    But it passes by
    Is this a modern legend?
    Maybe a fairy tale
    Just a future requiem
    Cutting along the fiction that we're
