| Description | This media-archaeological study examines the environment of Czech modernity, delineated by two crucial events organized at the turn of the nineteenth century in Prague – the first entirely Czech General Global Exhibition (1891) and the Exhibition of Architecture and Engineering (1898). Within the space of exhibitions, it is revealed how the interaction of individual innovations brought about by the end of the century influenced the definition of a medium. |
