Le cœur mis à nu - continued... As early as 1747, Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777) defined physiology as "animated anatomy". It is hardly surprising, then, that nineteenth-century physiologists did not want to rely exclusively on the static forms of texts and figures when distributing their experimental knowledge. from: Weber and Weber, 1894 Instead, they began to produce "movement-images" (Deleuze), adopting elements from the very system that, according to Deleuze, is also at the basis of cinematography: images of moments in equal intervals, a transfer of these images and intervals on to a support, and a driving mechanism for transporting the images.
