The project >The Eye of the Worker< has produced fundamental research towards a media history of mentalities in early modern time, regarding the perspectives and self-presentation of the non-bourgeois classes. In this research, however, some aspects could only be touched, like the interaction between amateurs and professional artist, the role of women as performers and producers, or the significance of press sketches and other expressions of public sign formation with their reference to advertising, in the context of the development of modern propaganda methods. In addition, the popular culture of >worker photography< has, so far, neither been included into the historiography of art or of daily life nor into museum practice in any appreciable way.In cooperation with our partners, we therefore intend to extend our research focus in order to achieve a new perspective on the significance of the visual during the Weimar Republic. As an archeology of the media, the planned transfer project aims to develop new elaborated academic approaches to visual cultures. At the same time, it could also provide an enlightened view into a predominantly visual present. The iconographic concept of the exhibition will take into account the collection profiles and knowledge bases of the institutes involved. In the same way, the traditions of art and history museums will be included discerningly, and gender aspects will be considered in regard to the producers and the motives of images as well as their circles of recipients. Research into museological praxis and an analysis of the results of knowledge transfer will accompany the process.

《工人之眼》项目对早期现代媒体思想史进行了基础性研究，涉及非资产阶级的视角和自我呈现。然而，在这项研究中，有些方面是只能触及的，比如业余艺术家和专业艺术家之间的互动，女性作为表演者和制作人的角色，或者新闻小品和其他公共标志形成的表达方式与广告的关系，在现代宣传方法的发展背景下的意义。此外，到目前为止，工人摄影的流行文化还没有以任何明显的方式被纳入艺术史或日常生活的史学，也没有被纳入博物馆实践中。因此，我们打算与我们的合作伙伴合作，扩大我们的研究重点，以实现对魏玛共和国时期视觉意义的新视角。作为媒体的考古学，计划中的转移项目旨在开发新的精心设计的视觉文化学术方法。同时，它也可以提供一种开明的视角，进入一个以视觉为主的当下。展览的图像概念将考虑到参与的机构的收藏概况和知识库。以同样的方式，艺术和历史博物馆的传统将被有区别地包括在内，并将从制作人和图像及其接受者的圈子的动机方面考虑性别问题。对博物馆学实践的研究和对知识转移结果的分析将伴随着这一过程。
