This book takes the interface - or rather to interface, a process
rather than a discrete object or location - as a concept emblematic
of our contemporary embodied relationship with technological
artefacts. The fundamental question addressed by this book is: How
can we understand what it means to perceive or act upon the world
as a body-artefact assemblage? Black works to clarify the role of
artefacts of all kinds in human perception and action, then
considers the ways in which new digital technologies can expand and
transform this capacity to change our mode of engagement with our
environment. Throughout, the discussion is grounded in specific
technologies - some already familiar and some still in development
(e.g. new virtual reality and brain-machine interface technologies,
natural user interfaces, etc.). In order to develop a detailed,
generalizable theory of how we interface with technology, Black
assembles an analytical toolkit from a number of different
disciplines, including media theory, ethology, clinical psychology,
cultural theory, philosophy, science and technology studies,
cultural history, aesthetics and neuroscience.
