{"product_id":"the-perception-machine-joanna-zylinska-9780262546836","title":"The Perception Machine: Our Photographic Future Between the Eye and AI","description":"\u003cb\u003eA provocative investigation of the future of photography and human perception in the age of AI.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe are constantly photographing and being photographed while feeding machine learning databases with our data, which in turn is used to generate new images. Analyzing the transformation of photography by computation--and the transformation of human perception by algorithmically driven images, from CGI to AI--\u003ci\u003eThe Perception Machine\u003c\/i\u003e investigates what it means for us to live surrounded by image flows and machine eyes. In an astute and engaging argument, Joanna Zylinska brings together media theory and neuroscience in a Vil駑 Flusser-Paul Virilio remix. Her \"perception machine\" names a technical universe of images and their infrastructures. But it also refers to a sociopolitical condition resulting from today's automation of vision, imaging--and imagination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten by a theorist-practitioner, the book incorporates Zylinska's own art projects, some of which have been co-created with AI. The photographs, collages, films, and installations available as part of the book (and its companion website) provide a different mode of thinking about our technological futures, at a local as well as a planetary level. Offering provocative concepts such as eco-eco-punk, AUTO-FOTO-KINO, planetary micro-vision, loser images, and sensography, the book outlines an existential philosophy of messy media for a time when our practices of imaging and self-imaging are being radically redesigned. Importantly, it also offers a new vision of our future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Zylinska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262546833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262546836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Joanna Zylinska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45476832968959,"sku":"9780262546836","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_274731c0-6aed-4cc1-8051-ec817e585771.jpg?v=1715918289","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-perception-machine-joanna-zylinska-9780262546836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
