Andrew Moisey is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History of Art and Visual Studies at Cornell University. His research interests lie at the intersection of art history, science, and metaphysics, with a particular focus on the history of photography. He is fascinated by how images influence perception and the ways artists and scientists adopt new models to represent and understand the world around them. Moisey's current book project examines the evolution of photography in European art and its metaphysical implications, particularly regarding how views and perspectives have shifted from first-person to third-person interpretations. This work highlights the marketing of empirical samples of the visible world, associated with artists like Canaletto, and explores the complexities of perception in art and photography from the nineteenth century onwards. Moisey invites a rich exploration of the history and theory of photography, moving image media, and the modern image culture within his scholarly pursuits.
