Robotic Vision and Virtual Interfacing : Seeing, Sensing, Shaping PDF
Edited by Luci Eldridge, Nina Trivedi
Part of the Technicities series
Description
How do past and present technologies affect how we perceive the world and see things?
- Addresses the threats posed by mediated forms of seeing and processing as well as the potential for robotic visions to help reframe our human perspective and experience of the world
- Offers a multidisciplinary approach including contributions written from art historical, design history and critical image theory perspectives through sociological insights
- Includes several case studies including the use of social robots, robotic vision within virtual reality programmes, head-mounted displays and mapping tools such as Google Earth
- Contributes to scholarship on robotics, artificial intelligence and virtual reality technologies from arts, media theory, and science and technology studies perspectives
As the symbiotic relationship between human and machine unfolds, robotic vision facilitates a reshaping and reconstitution of our perception of the world. This edited collection explores ways in which this is taking place and the implictions for these new ways of seeing ethically, politically, culturally and socially from an art and design perspective and through a critical theoretical lens.
The contributors converge on the intersection of New Materialism, Media Studies and Cultural Theory and offer speculative approaches combining creative writing and visual interludes from artists and designers, all of which address the question: are we on the cusp of new ways of seeing?
