INTENSIFIED
REALITY: Visual Devices and the Remaking of Worlds The Getty exhibition Devices of Wonder: From the World in a Box to Images on a Screen, .co curated by B.M. Stafford explores the fascinating world of visual illusion, with the Getty Research Institute's collection of 18th- to 20th-century optical games, toys, prints, and ephemera forming the core of the exhibition. Additional materials include scientific instruments, rare natural history books, trompe l'oeil paintings, trick furniture, a Wunderschrank (cabinet of wonders), and Lucas Samaras' Mirrored Room. Imaginative, interactive installations reveal engaging and compelling apparatus that produce visual information on the stage, at the studio or laboratory, and in the home. Magic lanterns, miniature peepshows, panoramas, moving dioramas, stereoscopes, Jeff Wall's cibachrome light boxes, and computers display how the "natural" eye can be transformed through sensory technology. Conversely, the exhibition reveals how these optical devices brought about new forms of consciousness at different historical moments. |
