Join 📚 Entre Leituras - Marcelo Ribeiro
A batch of the best highlights from what Marcelo's read, .
Techniques such as contrastive learning, self-supervised learning, and other approaches to data generation and augmentation signal a new stage in the development of machine vision in which it becomes tightly coupled with image synthesis and generation. This convergence suggests we might be much closer than we imagine to an ectocinema of hallucinated imagery, in which the ability to interact with vast latent visual spaces is available directly to users (for a fee of course). This ectocinema is a medium whose temporal forms we are only beginning to outline, and which will likely be shaped under the technoaesthetics of datamatic time.
Cinema and machine vision: artificial intelligence, aesthetics and spectatorship

By imperial violence I refer to the entire enterprise of destroying the existing worlds of signs, activities, and social fabrics and replacing them with a “new world” of objects, classification, laws, technologies, and meanings.
