We envision that these technologies will grant us a broader perspective, enable us to perceive things differently, and even grant us the ability to see everything. However, each of these new ways of seeing comes with its own set of blind spots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her insightful book, Jill Walker Rettberg delves into the rich history of machine vision. Providing a comprehensive overview of the historical and contemporary applications of machine vision, she explores how technologies like smart surveillance cameras and TikTok filters are reshaping our perception of the world and our interactions with one another. By examining fictional and real-world examples, encompassing art, video games, and science fiction, the book demonstrates how machine vision can exert diverse cultural effects, fostering both empathy and community while also generating anxiety and fear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining ethnographic and critical media studies approaches with personal reflections, Machine Vision offers an engaging and thought-provoking read.
