Admin History: The recording is of the 3rd lecture in the series entitled 'Spatial Effects', given by Mark Cousins as part of the AA General Studies programme, 2003-2004. In this lecture, Mark Cousins raises the issue of finding a language to describe spatial affects - a language which would be different from the language used in psychological discourse. Trompe-l'œil is used as an example to examine the boundary between real and representation. Vision is argued to be an effect, not a faculty.

Custodial History: Audio cassette recording was made by the AA Audio Visual Departement and retained by the AA Photo Library until 2019, when it was transferred to the AA Archives.

Aquisition: Audio cassette was transferred from the AA Photo Libary to the AA Archives in 2019. Digital preservation and access copies were created by the AA Archives in 2021.
