Horn, or the Counterside of Media by Henning Schmidgen
Henning Schmidgen reflects on the dynamic phenomena of touch in media, analyzing works by artists, scientists, and philosophers ranging from Salvador Dali to Walter Benjamin, who each explore the interplay between tactility and technological and biological surfaces.
"As a scholar of touch and technology but not, it must be said, of media, I was rarely surprised by the historical content or media examplesI was, however, consistently delighted by the deft argumentation, the rather bricolage- like assembly of themes and motifs, and the unexpected but convincing serendipities that connect them across the different media and their practitioners. . . . For the scholar interested in media and technology, this book serves as an entertaining crash course or manifesto in the history of tactile media." -- Mark Paterson * Technology and Culture *
Henning Schmidgen is Professor of Media Studies at Bauhaus-UniversitÄt Weimar and author of Bruno Latour in Pieces: An Intellectual Biography and The Helmholtz Curves: Tracing Lost Time.
