The Eye of the Machine

European Centre for Living Technology (ECLT), San Marco 2940

Relatore: Simone Arcagni, University of Palermo

Abstract
In the very beginning of the '80 Paul Virilio published a book titled The Machine Vision. According to the French philosopher we need a field of research that study the deep meaning of the computers that see, because the vision of the computers is completely different and it represents a change of paradygm in what we means when we speak about seeing.
In the same years David Marr published the book Vision that is considered the beginning of the Computer Vision.
As several scholars of the philosophy of information and visual culture ask, we need to understand what are the characteristics that define the computational eye. What is the logic of this "period eye".
