NOTES Non anthropocentric view Object Oriented Ontology Non-human phenomenology Posthumanism Non-relational aesthetics

Physicality of body influences image plus our perception of the image How body can produce different frames/lighting etc Roomba/drones/surveillance Drone paper

(Schmerheim) Camer’as perspective becomes expression of mental states and different consciousness (animal, post-mortem) (Schmerheim) Self-conscious camera as key characteristic Must experience phenomenology of camera [or non anthropocentric view] to understand the camera (Sparrow p 171) Notes altered by surface of moon – what is equivalent for film
