Unlocked | Model Shock w/ Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen (NM48)

By the end of the 19th century, cascading developments in science,
theory, and philosophy were radically challenging the way Western
society understood what it means “to think” — and how, in turn,
this contemporary sentient human could be depicted. EMMELYN
BUTTERFIELD-ROSEN, a scholar of late-19th and early-20th century
art, and associate director of the Williams Graduate Program in the
History of Art at the esteemed Clark Art Institute joins us to
discuss her new book, “Modern Art & The Remaking of the Human
Disposition” (U. Chicago Press, 2021), which brilliantly and with
astonishing depth explores not just the shifts in artistic
conventions during this time, but also the emergent cybernetic
processes that catalyzed it. Published to subscribers: 28. AUG 2022
