For millennia, humans have harnessed technology to enhance our limited vision, ranging from the creation of the stone mirror 8,000 years ago to the latest advancements in facial recognition and augmented reality. 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.
In 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.
Combining ethnographic and critical media studies approaches with personal reflections, Machine Vision offers an engaging and thought-provoking read. It is an ideal resource for students and scholars of digital media studies, science and technology studies, visual studies, digital art, and science fiction, as well as for general readers interested in understanding the profound impact of new technologies on society.
