Robert Romanyshyn

Technology as Symptom and Dream (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The development of linear perspective in the 15th century represented a radical transformation in the European's sense of the world, the body and the self. Robert Romanyshyn's latest book examines the claim that the development of linear perspective vision was and is indispensable to the emergence of our technological world. It does so by telling the story of how an artistic technique has become a cultural habit of mind.
