Devices of Wonder: From the World in a Box to Images on a Screen
"Discover the surprising and seductive ancestors of modern cinema, cyborgs, computers, and other optical devices" in this Getty Museum exhibition. Connecting to this eclectic array of amusements, dating from the 17th century up to the present, is a fascinating and suitably modern way to observe the links between new technologies and the entertainments of centuries ago. Relic-like names such as "thaumatrope," "physionotrace," and "wunderkammer" add an otherworldliness to these automata, games, and visual diversions.
