<br/><br/> Light is the condition of all vision, and the visual media are our most important explorations of this condition. The history of visual technologies reveals a centuries-long project aimed at controlling light. In this book, Sean Cubitt traces a genealogy of the dominant visual media of the 21st century - digital video, film, and photography - through a history of materials and practices that begins with the inventions of intaglio printing and oil painting.
