"In the 1920s the Russian film
pioneer Lev Kuleshov demonstrated that audiences will take the same footage
of an actor's face as signifying appetite, grief, or affection, depending on
whether it is juxtaposed with images
of a bowl of soup, a dead woman, or a little girl playing with a teddy bear.
Using the computer, we can make use of the Kuleshov effect to create juxtapostions
that are intentionally open
to multiple meaningful interpretations."
-- Janet Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck, 160.
