Hi all,
One of our graduate students send me the link below as a remarkable example
of the assemblage qualities of surveillance/imaging. It is a brief video
demonstration of photosynth which enables users to cull the internet for
photos of a particular site and interrelate them spatially, creating a
three-dimensional, zoomable, multimedia image. It is quite amazing.
Stay with the video for the example of the Notre Dame cathedral. If this
actually works as a widespread application you can only imagine how this
stuff will eventually be used in conjunction with CCTV and other imaging
practices.
