Chapter on the introduction of cinema in the Netherlands by way of analyzing Christiaan Slieker's 1896 kinematograph performance Edison's Ideal. In the chapter we argue that there is a close link between the historical viewing experience of the spectators and the sublime aesthetic experience. Our conclusion is that technology is always linked to users and its reception, and thus technology is best studied by incorporating the kinematograph's historical reception.
