        Subject: New publication

NEW PUBLICATION

In his new book, Cinema and Machine Vision: Artificial Intelligence, Aesthetics
and Spectatorship 
<https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-cinema-and-machine-vision.html>, 
Dr Daniel Chávez Heras unfolds the aesthetic, epistemic, and ideological 
dimensions of machine-seeing films and television using computers.
Through its critical-technical approach, this book presents to the reader key
new problems that arise as AI becomes integral to visual culture, theorising
machine vision through a selection of aesthetics, film theory, and applied
machine learning research. Cinema and Machine Vision dispels widely held
assumptions about computer systems designed to watch and make images on our
behalf.

LAUNCH EVENT
Join the author and guests for a launch event, as part of King's Festival or
