Back in the 1980s Jean Baudrillard wrote that public space was
collapsing due to a double obscenity: 'The most intimate operation
of your life becomes the potential grazing ground of the
media....The entire universe also unfolds unnecessarily on your
home screen.' He termed this the ecstasy of communication. But
today, your everyday life is not just the potential grazing ground
of the media, but of anyone with a camera, and the entire universe
unfolds not just at home but in the palm of your hand virtually
anywhere you travel. Bringing together a transdisciplinary team of
leading scholars and artists from North America, Europe and Asia,
this volume documents and theorizes this new visibility. It focuses
on the proliferation of a range of new visual technologies,
examining questions of subjectivity, agency, and surveillance as
well as mapping and theorizing new practices of visuality within
this new visual assemblage. New Visualities, New Technologies
addresses the pressing need for the conceptual understanding of new
forms of seeing, looking, presenting, and hiding.
