Text 7A2-I  

    If we believe that our own information age is defined by
the digital structures of electronic communication, we must take
early modern culture as inextricably bound to the medium of
print. Printed text and image arose within a few years of each
other in the mid-fifteenth century, credited to the German
goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg, who seemingly drew together a
series of extant yet disparate technologies into a new machine
that could print several thousand sheets a day. The ancient oil or
wine press, the goldsmith’s craft in fine metal carving, the
late-medieval development of plentiful rag paper, and the
recent formulation of more stable oil-based inks enabled
Gutenberg’s ‘revolution’.

    Similarly, early photography developed from a coming
together of two otherwise disparate technologies: on the one
hand, the pinhole camera through which capture a refected view
of the world as an image, and on the other the chemical means to
fix the effects of light exposure on paper. In both cases, these
technologies shared aesthetic resources with other media
available at the time, while also producing forms of
representation that were uniquely theirs, and which offered
access to new ways of seeing, and enabled new forms of
subjectivity. The greatly expanded flow of visual information
facilitated by these technological breakthroughs worked to
quicken the circulation of knowledge, and the foundations of
thought itself.
