| '''NON-HUMAN PHOTOGRAPHY''' by Joanna Zylinska

| • '''3 kinds of non-human photography''' <br>
| |
| '''1.''' the rather frequently encountered yet often uncanny-looking photographs that are not ''of'' the human e.g. depopulated expansive landscapes <br>
| |
| '''2.''' photographs that are not ''by'' the human (contemporary high-tech images produced by traffic control cameras, microphotography, and Google Street View, but also outcomes of deep-time "impressioning" processes, such as fossils. <br>
| |
| '''3.''' photographs that are not ''for'' the human )from QR codes and other algorithmic modes of machine communication that rely on photographic technology through to perhaps still rather cryptic-sounding photography "after the human".) <br>

| • '''First photographic image''' ever made is Joseph Nicéphore Niépce's ''View from the Window'' a Le Gras (1826 or 27)
| |
| | |
| Bill Anthes says "The required 8 hour exposure produced a visual paradox: sunlight and shadow can be seen on two sides of structures at left and right—the "pigeon house" or upper loft of Niépce's home, and the sloped roof of a barn witha bakehouse in the rear. As such, Niépce's landmark image presages something that will be true of all the photographs produced in the centuries following his invention: the camera has recorded a view that, for all its apparent veracity, is a scene which the human eye could never see." P. 20/21

| • Richard Whitlock '''on Perspective''' <br>
| |
| "Under perspective, the dominant visual mode today, we find ourselves distanced from the things around us and from each other. We become onlookers, outsiders to a world in which objects become things to be looked at and studied. We look at them and examine them with impunity, since they belong in a different world. Under perspective nothing returns our gaze, nothing looks us squarely in the face, unless it be positioned at the vanishing-point, in which case it will have vanished." P.31

| • Katrina Sluis (curator and writer) — " '''Think your #srsly #cute #scottishfold #cat is unique?''' Think your high-dynamic-range photo of the Franz Josef glacier viewed from the altar window of Waiho church in the south island of NZ is unique? Think again..." P.33/34

| '''On Architecture''' <br>
| |
| ...architecture has been at the forefront of developing alternative theories of perception that go beyond the linear visual model, as it is an explicitly visual and sensual practice, focused on the relationship between bodies, buildings, and environments. P40
