This course is a study of technology itself as continuous disruption in Europe and the Americas from the Fourteenth Century to the present. It takes as its focus the cultural work of what the scholar William Ivins once called the "exactly repeatable pictorial statement." In addition to discussing various technologies, we will address how that process of repetition- primarily visual, but also textual- participates in the constitution of society, informs conceptions of artistry, and shapes the values we assign to visual expression.
