Beyond the Image Machine: A History of Visual Technologies is an
eloquent and stimulating argument for an alternative history of
scientific and technological imaging systems. It explores the ways
in which the technological medium through which a piece of visual
art is rendered contributes significantly to the experience of the
human looking at it. Through a series of studies of individual art
works, David Tomas gives a fascinating and wholly original account
of the relationship between visual technology and human sensory
perception. Illustrated throughout, the book draws on a range of
hitherto marginalised examples from the world of visual
representation. In examining these art works and, it draws upon the
work of such key theorists as Latour, de Certeau, Mc Luhan and
Barthes. Beyond the Image Machine is an original and contribution
to the study of visual culture and the technologies that mediate
it. It is a book that changes the terms of the debate and redefines
the discipline. Anyone studying, teaching or researching in this
area will find it a rich source of ideas and inspiration.
