Il 1839 segna la nascita della fotografia e l’inizio di un rapporto stretto e complesso fra il nuovo “strumento” e la pratica scientifica, da cui peraltro trae origine. Si aprono nuovi orizzonti conoscitivi, rivelati da immagini che sembrano garantire una solida oggettività al sapere scientifico, ma che successivamente mostreranno elementi di criticità. Le grandi aspettative ottocentesche sulle potenzialità del mezzo fotografico saranno così ridimensionate. L’occhio della scienza propone, attraverso le mostre Un secolo di fotografia scientifica in Italia, 1839-1939 (Pisa, Museo della Grafica) e Giorgio Roster e Odoardo Beccari: esploratori di luoghi e immagini (Firenze, Museo Stibbert), una narrazione del primo secolo della fotografia scientifica italiana che privilegia la prospettiva storico-scientifica rispetto a quella artistica. La fotografia scientifica determina un nuovo modo di fare scienza e di vedere il mondo; la macchina fotografica diviene l’occhio dello scienziato che permette di cogliere dimensioni prima ignote della realtà. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… 1839 marks the birth of photography and the beginning of a close and complex relationship between the new "tool" and scientific practice, from which it originates. New cognitive horizons are opening up, revealed by images that seem to guarantee a solid objectivity to scientific knowledge, but which will subsequently show critical elements. The great nineteenth-century expectations on the potential of the photographic medium will thus be resized. "L'occhio della scienza" proposes, through the exhibitions "A century of scientific photography in Italy, 1839-1939" (Pisa, Museum of Graphics) and "Giorgio Roster and Odoardo Beccari: explorers of places and images" (Florence, Stibbert Museum), a narration of the first century of Italian scientific photography which favors the historical-scientific perspective over the artistic one. Scientific photography determines a new way of doing science and seeing the world; the camera becomes the scientist's eye that allows us to capture previously unknown dimensions of reality.]
