It first explicates bullet-titling practice as a retaliatory action against the tactile effects of moving images, reconceptualizing cinema’s tactile quality and recovering its association with bullet-like intensity through the notion of tacti(ca)lity. Tracing the changed perception of touch in relation to the emergence of the touchscreen interface, the author then delineates the transformation of bullet-titles from offensive weapons against the optical attacks of moving images to a venue for real-time conversation and communication among spectator-cum-bullet-titlers. The article ends with a discussion of bullet-titles’ construction of pseudo-real time, which constitutes a viewing community of ‘diachronic simultaneity’ that assimilates all temporally and geographically dispersed spectators into the unfolding ‘now’ of video playback. This ‘nowness’ reconciles contemporary media consumption’s contradictory demands for globalized simultaneity and individualized flexibility, obliterating us anew.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47343869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cornford","doi":"10.1177/14704129231161947","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/14704129231161947","url":null,"abstract":"This article uses the resolutional relationship between digital image and planetary surface in satellite remote sensing as a lens through which to view the reliance of visual culture on mineral resources. While most studies of resolution in satellite imaging have focused on visibility and invisibility, the author argues that the equivalence between pictorial and geographic space in its cm/pixel specification offers an opportunity to consider the physical relationship between the two. The proposed inversion enables the satellite and its transmitted images to be understood as contingent upon an unsustainably extractive industrial model. The article then traces the material trajectory in geophysical prospecting applications of remote sensing, identifying a recursive loop in which images are used to produce minerals that are used to produce images. The potential geopolitical impact of this circularity is then assessed with regard to an example of future remote sensing emissions governance. In this, and many other climate-critical applications, remote sensing potentially plays a vital role, yet its instrumental gaze tends to shape the earth as an informational resource whose mineral reserves should be capitalized upon. Ultimately, the author’s aim is not to denounce earth observation as ecologically untenable, but to propose that we find a measure with which to assess the planetary impact of the various aspects of industrialized visual culture. Conceiving of resolution not as a measure of pictorial space but of the terrestrial cost of producing, consuming, distributing and permanently storing digital images might enable a more relational understanding of image and ground, pixels and planet. Accounting for the inverse resolution of an image could bring the deep temporal costs of digital visual culture into focus.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41956106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In A People’s Atlas of Nuclear Colorado (2021, henceforth referred to as Atlas), a ‘tentacular’ nuclear history is constructed that ‘feels out’ the lives ‘lived along’ the ‘nets and networks’ of the U.S. Nuclear Industrial Complex (p. 32). The Atlas is a remarkable digital book edited by the interdisciplinary artist Sarah Kanouse and the cultural geographer Shiloh Krupar. Kanouse, Krupar, and the over 40 contributors – including geographers, artists, anthropologists, and individuals directly impacted by the legacy of nuclear Colorado – unpack the sprawling history of nuclear development that has seismically and ecologically shaped Colorado as well as the mobilization of a labor force to implement the equally ‘tentacular’ administrative effort to mass produce the atomic bomb.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48973786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Insurgent Aesthetics, however, Ronak Kapadia insists that the US has been waging a ‘long war’ throughout history, including the last century, and furthermore, that it is not simply ‘at war’, but is war itself (p. 5). Moreover, he proposes that contemporary South Asian, Middle Eastern, and diasporic multimedia artists resist the violence of the US empire by inspiring alternative ways of knowing and feeling, beyond the forever wars of US security statecraft. Kapadia redeploys the term forever war to critically describe, not only the United States’ global war on terror in the aftermath of 9/11, but also its domestic war on crime and, by extension, drugs (p. 5). While the US empire – the machine behind these affiliated wars – has often projected itself as borderless, monolithic, and everlasting, the artists of Insurgent Aesthetics demonstrate that even empire fails to last forever, that ultimately the powers of the US security state are evanescent. These artists’ embodied practices of opposition, refusal, and escape in the realms of installation, performance, photography, painting, video, literature, and new media shed light on their insurgent aesthetics, the book’s titular concept. Kapadia proposes that the artists’ insurgent aesthetics constitute a relational, collective aesthetic praxis that enables them to rearticulate the subjugated knowledges of Arab, Muslim, and South Asian populations and, in so doing, craft a queer calculus of the forever war. A queer calculus, Kapadia suggests, troubles dominant knowledges about the forever war; it renders intimate, sensuous, or affiliated what has been estranged, disappeared, or divided by US technologies of abstraction, such as aerial surveillance or statistical calculation; and it envisions new ways to inhabit the world, if not new worlds entirely.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46950540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
