Description

In No Trespassing, Swedish scholar Eva Hemmungs Wirten provides a cultural history of the photocopier. She observes that this technology deserves close critical attention: Eva argues that the radical disturbance of the photocopier was addressed by new copyright laws, collective licensing practices, and the development of technological protection measures. She considers the paradox that the technology was both a mechanism of copying and control: 'The copier gave us more than the possibility to distribute, to sample, and to create new texts, and more than the possibility to make copies of copies; it also gave us new instruments of control'.
