Last week I gave a talk at the Visions Forum at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Australia. Joined by artists and researchers that included Trevor Paglen and Kate Crawford, Visions “proposes a new way of looking at looking … bring[ing] together a group of experts to share their thoughts on the art, science and politics of vision. How do scientists and engineers understand vision today? What is its history? And what utopian or dystopian visual futures lie ahead?” For my part, I focused on how platforms see us and how their designs intentionally change the way we see the world and ourselves.
A recording of my talk will go up online shortly; when it does, I’ll post it here. In the meantime, you can see the full program here.
