Many examples of seemingly harmless transformations of lattice spin measures in mathematical statistical mechanics are known to destroy the Gibbs property. This is caused by the emergence of non-localities in the joint measure. Less known, corresponding phenomena also exist for mean-field (exchangeable) systems, with a suitable notion of mean-field Gibbsianness. We describe results for this in both lattice and mean field models, focussing on stochastic time-evolutions for which non-Gibbsianness was only recently discovered. We also discuss the relation to disordered systems and large deviations, and conjecture how lattice and mean-field results may be linked by a Kac-(long range-) limit.
