Trevor Paglen and the 'Seeing Machines'
Renowned American artist Trevor Paglen (Invisible: Covert Operations and Classified Landscapes, The Last Pictures) is our guest blogger on 'Still Searching' till April 15. His topic: The world of 'seeing machines' – from iPhones to facial recognition algorithms to automated military targeting systems – and what they mean in terms of 21st Century photography. Paglen's first blog contribution that has already attracted quite a few comments starts with many questions, for instance this one: 'But if a traditional understanding of 'photography' is ill-suited to making sense of the 21st Century's photographic landscape, then how do we begin to think about what 'photography' has become and is becoming?'
