Nr 55
In den hundert Jahren zwischen 1830 und 1930 veränderte sich mit neuen Möglichkeiten der Reproduktion, der Sammlung und Übertragung über weite Distanzen die Art und Weise der Verbreitung von Bildern von Grund auf. Diese neuen Strukturen der weltweiten Bereitstellung und Verbreitung von Bildmaterial und die Techniken, die sie ermöglichten, sind Gegenstand von Hansun Hsiungs Forschungsprojekt am Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte (MPIWG).

From Electrotype to the Electric Image: Global Vision, circa 1830–1930
Nr 55
Between 1830 and 1930 lay a century that redefined the nature of image circulation, with changes in how they could be reproduced, amassed as property, and transmitted to distant locales with relative speed and accuracy. These new regimes for the worldwide supply of visual content, and the technologies that enabled it, are the subject of Hansun Hsiung’s project at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG).
