Brooke Belisle, BCNM alum, publishes Depth Effects: Dimensionality from Camera to Computation
We're pleased to share that Brooke Belisle, Associate Professor of Art at Stony Brook University and BCNM alum, has just published Depth Effects: Dimensionality from Camera to Computation!
In this bold rewriting of visual culture, Belisle uses dimensionality to rethink the history and theory of media aesthetics. With Depth Effects, she traces A.I.-enabled techniques of computational imaging back to spatial strategies of early photography, analyzing everyday smartphone apps by way of almost-forgotten media forms. Drawing on the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Belisle explores depth both as a problem of visual representation (how can flat images depict a voluminous world?) and as a philosophical paradox (how do things cohere beyond the limits of our view?).

Congratulations!!
