My basic position on all of this is that we’ve got to have technological literacy and not just throw up our hands and say, “Oh, no, that’s too complicated.” That’s what the AI industries would like us to do so they can avoid being regulated in any meaningful way…We have critical paradigms from decades of visual culture and science and technology studies that are still relevant today. Reality Frictions talks about systems of power and knowledge in terms that were well established nearly half a century ago. A lot has changed, but a lot remains the same, and those factors are still operative in the way we understand images on screen, whether they’re captured by lenses or generated by software.

“The scope of the cinematic illustrations is breathtaking.”
“Reality Frictions is a eulogy of audiences’ capacities to navigate the ways in which the real and the imaginary intertwine in traditional media, as well as a powerful inspiration for finding new ways to navigate the digital contents of today.”
