이 에피소드에 관해
Every day, thousands of people stand in front of Philadelphia's historic markers, taking a photo of themselves without a second thought. The first person to do it sat perfectly still for fifteen minutes in a backyard on 8th Street – and he wasn't making art, he was running an experiment. This episode traces how Robert Cornelius, a lamp manufacturer with a chemistry habit, took the first photographic self-portrait in America and accidentally started something we're all still doing. Host Marisa Magnatta is joined by Dr. Erin Pauwels, art historian at Temple's Tyler School of Art and Architecture.
