Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bligh, B., & Lorenz, K. Vorsprung durch Technik: multi-display learning spaces and art-historical method. Presented at Technology and 'the death of Art History' CHArt Annual Conference

The trajectory and heuristic success of Art History as a discipline has always been inseparably linked to the technical means of visualizing the material that is at its core. When in the late 19th century first analogous, then double-slide projection... Read More about Vorsprung durch Technik: multi-display learning spaces and art-historical method.
