Kittler "computer graphics"
(the perspective inherent to photographic optics was an obstacle to the total automation of sight, and they went on to develop other, non perspectival means, including "range finders" such as lasers or ultrasound, as the source of three-dimensional information.)
Machinic Vision and Human Perception
radical disembodiment of vision
(could be redeemed by digital images the functional isomorphism between machine vision and human perception)
p101 whereas "vision machines" transform the activity of perceiving into a computation of the data that is , for all intents and purposes, instantaneous, human perception takes place in a rich and evolving field to which bodily modalities of tactility, proprioception, memory and duration — what I am calling affectivity— make an irreducible and constitutive contribution.
John Johnston, "Machinic Vision" critical inquiry 26 (1999)
p99 he correlates the digitization of the image with the technical distribution of cognition beyond the human body-brain... The result is a "generalized and extended condition of visuality"—mechanic vision— in which the task of processing information, that is , perception, necessarily passes through a machinic circuit.
Is an digital image an image?
p99 the digital image is not really an "image" at all: far from being a correlate of the imaginary domain of sense experience, it designates the "objective" circulation of digital data— Kittler's endless loop of infinite knowledge— emancipated from any constraining correlation with human perceptual ratios.
