Me, speaking at my usual rollicking pace, about the history of #pictureresearch from pre-photography to post-digitization, in this podcast episode on the Library Channel on the New Books network. Have a listen and see (or rather, hear) if you can spot where I call a famous writer and director by the wrong name 😆🙈

#pictureresearch #photohistory #visualculture

Here goes, my first attempt at #introduction: I'm professor of #visualculture at #NTNU, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, where I head up the fledgling research group Media, Data, Museums. As a photo historian with a background in professional picture research, I study the labour, systems, technologies, and #infrastructures that underpin visual culture from the early 1800s to the present. More of a media antiquarian than a media archaeologist. I'm the author of Picture Research: The Work of Intermediation from Pre-Photography to Post-Digitization – forthcoming from MIT Press in June 2023. In real life I'm quite loud; on social media I'm usually quiet.
