Dear SIGCIS,

I wanted to share the announcement and registration link for a panel next week on three recent books on the (media|cultural) history of computer and machine vision and machine learning that I imagine would be of interest to some here.

Jill Walker Rettberg will be speaking about her Machine Vision: How Algorithms are Changing the Way We See the World (Polity, 2023); Jussi Parikka will be talk about his recent Operational Images: From the Visual to the Invisual (Minnesota, 2023); and finally I’ll present on material from The Birth of Computer Vision (Minnesota, 2023). A little more information on the panel can be found here:

This Zoom-based discussion will take place on Wednesday, January 23rd at 12:00pm Eastern / 9:00am Pacific.
