On January 3, 1851, French physicist Leon Foucault started to experiment with his eponymous pendulum, by which he was able to proof the earth's rotation. Actually, how can you prove that the earth is a rotating orb in an easy-to-see experiment and - of course - without space flight? By today, Foucault's simple device is part of numerous natural science museums around the world.
This image is taken from the original French version of Discipline and Punish by Foucault. It is an illustration of a classroom from a manual in the early 19th Century, showing the organization of the classroom, its hierarchies and spatial distributions. Not unlike the Panopticon, the space of the classroom is designed to create maximum visibility and thereby discipline.
