Schmidgen, Henning (Author)
In order to communicate with isolated test subjects in physiological and psychological laboratories in the late nineteenth century, scholars such as Wilhelm Wundt, Edward W. Scripture, and Hendrik Zwaardemaker used modern technologies, in particular telegraphy. In a similar vein, Marcel Proust equipped his apartment with a soundproof room and a network of cables and switches in order to conduct his famous research on lost time. The combined use of the camera silenta and advanced communication technologies turned time experts around 1900 into spiders: without ears, eyes, or nose, they were waiting at the edge of an extended web of simultaneities for the slightest vibrations their bodies could receive. With Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, one could say that they experienced states of organlessness.
