Abstract

Mitsos Bilalis, New Histories for the Electronic Vision: The 19th Century and the Digital Domain

This article focuses on contemporary historiographical accounts on 19th century, which have been formed —during the last two decades of 20th century— in various academic disciplines from art history and critical theory to 3-D graphics design and new media theory. The article examines the main epistemologica! presupposition of the above historiographical attempts, namely perceiving 19th century visual culture as a precursor of the contemporary digitalized oprical experience.
