The »Black Art«: A Revolution in the History of Media Gutenberg’s invention can be characterized as a »media revolution« in technical, political, social, and cultural respect. Ideas from the Renaissance, Humanism, and the Reformation that are still influential today, enduring perceptions of the individual and society, power and leadership, God and the world, new forms of literature and art, basic transformations in communications and media – thanks to Gutenberg our contemporary world is hardly conceivable without these cultural developments. These came about through the invention of printing with movable type, an invention that was elevated to the status of an «ars impressoria», the art of printing.
