商品描述
This book explores the historical interrelationships between mathematics, medicine and media, and offers a unique perspective on how video compression has shaped our relationship with moving images and the world. It situates compression in a network of technological, visual and epistemic practices spanning from late 18th-century computational methods to the standardization of electrical infrastructure and the development of neurology throughout the 1900s.
Bringing into conversation media archaeology, science and technology studies, disability studies and queer theory, each chapter offers an in-depth look at a different trace of compression, such as interlacing, macroblocking or flicker. This is a story of forgotten technologies, unusual media practices, strange images on the margins of visual culture and inventive ways of looking at the world. Readers will find illuminating discussions of the formation of complex scientific and medical systems, and of the violent and pleasurable interactions between our bodies and media infrastructure.商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討數學、醫學與媒體之間的歷史相互關係，並提供一個獨特的視角，說明視頻壓縮如何塑造我們與動態影像及世界的關係。它將壓縮置於一個技術、視覺和認識論實踐的網絡中，這些實踐從18世紀末的計算方法延伸至電氣基礎設施的標準化以及整個1900年代神經學的發展。
本書將媒體考古學、科學與技術研究、殘障研究及酷兒理論進行對話，每一章深入探討壓縮的不同痕跡，例如交錯、宏塊或閃爍。這是一個關於被遺忘的技術、不尋常的媒體實踐、視覺文化邊緣的奇異影像以及創新的世界觀的故事。讀者將發現關於複雜科學和醫療系統形成的啟發性討論，以及我們的身體與媒體基礎設施之間暴力與愉悅互動的探討。
