Apparus en Europe pendant la Renaissance, les cabinets de curiosités abritaient d'immenses collections, souvent princières, marquées par la volonté de recréer la totalité du monde en un lieu, la recherche d'exotisme, de raretés, voire de chimères. Ces accumulations d'objets oscillaient alors entre l'affirmation de la toute puissance de l'homme et de sa vanité. Classées, ordonnées, organisées, les collections de ces "chambres des merveilles" ont finalement été regroupées par discipline pour donner, au siècle des Lumières, naissance aux musées. Aujourd'hui, les cabinets de curiosités restent une source d'inspiration importante, tant pour l'art contemporain qu'en décoration : mélange des catégories, métissage des arts, goût pour la collection et sa mise en scène, esthétique du désordre... Autant de citations contemporaines de cette "chambre des merveilles", qui s'avère un magnifique support à la rêverie et à la création.

Summary:
An inquiry into emergent media's rich lineage, "Devices of Wonder" explores the artful machines humans have used to augment visual perception. The encyclopedic cabinet of curiosities serves as a model for this study of the archaic instruments lurking in state-of-the art technology. Featured in "Devices of Wonder" are android automata, lunar landscapes, perspective theaters, vues d'optique, microscopes, magnetic games, magic lanterns, camera obscuras, boxes by Joseph Cornell, Lucas Samaras's Mirrored Room, Suzanne Anker's Zoosemiotics, Mark Tilden's UniBug 3.1, panoramic works by Jeff Wall and Giovanni Lusieri, paintings by Jean-Baptiste Chardin and Joseph Wright of Derby, projections by Diana Thater and James Turrell, and a pop-up book by Kara Walker. Barbara Stafford's introduction weaves these fascinating artifacts into a provocative narrative analyzing the complex links between old and new media. Her wide-ranging investigation is complemented by thirty-one short essays in which Frances Terpak tracks the often surprising connections among individual items. Like the cabinet of curiosities, "Devices of Wonder" functions as an analogical instrument, reframing the beautiful "eye machines" that continue to mediate our encounters with the world. This book is published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Getty from November 13, 2001, through February 6, 2002.
