Revelations - Experiments in Photography - Media Space - MACK

This book serves as a catalog for the current show at the London Science Museum's Media Space but it more than stands on it's own. A survey of the tremendously important role played in contemporary photography of early scientific photographic experimentation. As the medium was pushed to illustrate phenomena and situations previously undocumented, science photography began to transform our understanding of the material world, to arrest moments outside of our perception and to transform the ways in which we represent forces to which we had always been in thrall. The incidental aesthetic of so many of these early images continues to ripple through so much subsequent art, particularly photographic art. This is an absorbing and beautifully articulated account of the impact of the utilitarian upon the poetic. The exhibition closes on 13/09/15.

"Of the 25,000 or so genes in the human genome, more than 1 percent are devoted to the sense of smell. Some put the percentage as high as 3 percent. When one contemplates all the different functions of the human body and all the diverse, highly specialised cells that exist to carry out those functions, it is astonishing to think that so many genes are devoted to the sense of smell."
