The project conducts basic research into the history of time-based 'useful media'. It aims at exploring the historical art of projection as visual and performative mass medium in the 'long' 19th Century. At that time, the popular transfer of knowledge became the dominant field of the art of projection and established the projection of images on a screen as a cultural technique. As ‘useful medium’, the art of projection served to convey diverse subjects in a lively way and to make educational content attractive. Among contemporaries, the art of projection was regarded as the ideal link between entertainment and instruction.The project starts from the hypothesis that the art of projection led to a performatization of the popular transfer of knowledge (Performativierung der populären Wissensvermittlung durch die Projektionskunst). This performatization was realized in multiple performative configurations that have shaped the development of modern time-based AV media for knowledge transfer considerably. To examine the art of projection as an exhibition event, the project adopts a media archaeological approach. It focuses on three widespread dispositifs of the art of projection and studies them as significant forms of performatization in the popular transfer of knowledge: 1) the transformation of phantasmagoria shows from the context of entertainment to the context of imparting knowledge (1820-1830); 2) the staging of knowledge transfer in spectacular performance events for popular education, taking the example of the so-called dissolving views (1858-1888); 3) the prevalence and institutionalization of the art of projection in its use as object lesson in popular education and teaching (1870-1919). Based on a selection of surviving works (series of lantern slides, lecture texts), historical devices and written sources, the project makes a basic contribution to contemporary research approaches towards an archaeology of the screen and performative ‘useful media’. Another aim of the project is to internationally valorize archival material held in German archives to which access has so far been limited by making it visible and accessible.The research project is carried out in cooperation with the department of Media Studies at the University of Marburg and the Trier Center for Digital Humanities (TCDH). The case studies on the performatization of the popular transfer of knowledge in the three examined dispositifs and the selected archival editions elaborated in Marburg will be published on the online platform eLaterna – Historical Art of Projection, which has been developed by the TCDH in cooperation with the department of Media Studies at the University of Trier.

该项目对基于时间的“有用媒体”的历史进行基础研究。它的目的是探索历史艺术的投影作为视觉和表演的大众媒体在'长'的19世纪。当时，知识的大众传播成为投影艺术的主导领域，并将图像投影到屏幕上作为一种文化技术。作为“有用的媒介”，投影艺术以生动的方式传达了各种主题，并使教育内容具有吸引力。在同时代的人中，投影艺术被认为是娱乐和教学之间的理想联系。该项目始于这样一个假设，即投影艺术导致了大众知识转移的表演化（Performativierung der populären Wissensvermittlung durch die Projektionskunst）。这种表演化是在多种表演配置中实现的，这些配置极大地影响了现代基于时间的AV媒体的发展，以实现知识转移。为了将投影艺术作为一项展览活动进行研究，该项目采用了媒体考古学的方法。本文着重分析了投射艺术的三种普遍性倾向，并将它们作为大众知识传播中的重要表演形式加以研究：1）幻变表现出从娱乐语境到传授知识语境的转变（1820-1830）; 2）在大众教育的壮观表演活动中进行知识转移，以所谓的消解观为例（1858-1888）; 3）投射艺术在大众教育教学中作为实物课的普及和制度化（1870-1919）。基于幸存的作品（幻灯片系列，演讲文本），历史设备和书面来源的选择，该项目对当代研究方法的屏幕和表演的“有用的媒体”考古学做出了基本贡献。该项目的另一个目的是通过使其可见和可访问，在国际上评价德国档案馆中保存的档案材料，该项目是与马尔堡大学媒体研究系和特里尔数字人文中心合作开展的。在三个被审查的专题中，关于大众知识传播的表演化的案例研究和在马尔堡精心制作的选定档案版本将在在线平台eLaterna上发布-投影的历史艺术，该平台是由TCDH与特里尔大学媒体研究系合作开发的。
