Portraits of Automated Facial Recognition
On Machinic Ways of Seeing the Face
Lila Lee-Morrison
This book offers a unique analysis of these algorithms from a critical visual culture studies perspective. The first part of this study examines the example of an early facial recognition algorithm called “eigenface” and traces a history of the merging of statistics and vision. The second part addresses contemporary artistic engagements with facial recognition technology in the work of Thomas Ruff, Zach Blas, and Trevor Paglen.
Moving Images
Mediating Migration as Crisis
Edited by Krista Geneviève Lynes, Tyler Morgenstern, and Ian Alan Paul
Bridging artistic practice and academic inquiry, the essays and artworks gathered in Moving Images interrogate the mediation of migration and refugeeism in the contemporary European conjuncture, asking how images, discourses, and data are involved in shaping visions of migration in increasingly global contexts.
