New Perspectives: a survey of emerging representational and perceptual paradigms
“How are emerging technologies changing the way we see the world? As optimists, we’d point to imaginative artist practices and perceptual hacks. As pessimists, we’d call attention to overarching (often invisible) systems of control. As realists we’ve tried to split the difference.”
We link CCTV and lifelogging, reveal the operational logic of debug views, anticipate introverted media futures, and reflect on five decades of R&D, as part of a broader inquiry into contemporary notions of ‘seeing’ and ‘being seen.’
Introduced by Golan Levin, with contributions from: Greg Borenstein, James Bridle, Tara Donovan, Janet Echelman, Nathalie Miebach, N O R M A L S, Paul Prudence, Dylan Schenker, Mitchell Whitelaw, and others.
