Abstract (en)

Survey of the technologies of perception, production and dissemination of images throughout history. From the era of painting, engraving and architecture culminating in the 18th c., the history of "regimes of the visual" shifted with the intervention of the photography and cinematography in the 19th c. The latest era starts with videography, holography and infographics, turning the dissolution of modernity into a generalized logic of public representations.
