I could think of others such as Walter Benjamin, Kracauer and Wolfgang
Schivelbusch who has made a book on artificial light. I believe it is
translated into English but I don't have the title here.
Besides Erkki Huhtamo has launched the idea of studying media archaology as
a way to understand the cultural constructs around new media as well as
old. He has published articles in Timothy Druckrey (ed.) Electronic Culture
- Technology and Visual Representation, Aperture 1996 (a great collection!)
and you can also find various stuff on the www.
I am myself working (as a researcher - not artist) with art and technology
or media aesthetics (primarily from a literary p.o.v.).
Hope this is helpful somehow.
