Day of Rage
This article examines how video journalism produced by the elite press is using forensic techniques and aesthetics as part of the effort to reinvent journalistic authority in a fragmented media and political sphere. I first discuss some earlier moments in which news coverage of events adopted a media-forensic epistemology and style, and then turn to the formation of the New York Times Visual Investigations team, a group at the leading-edge of thi…
Covid-19 and the Care of the Financialized Self
In the United States, the threat of COVID-19 as a public health problem was impossible to separate from the financial threat. From the start, the virus’s circulation through human bodies intermingled with all the ways human lives had been defined by neoliberalism’s economizing rationality. To unpack the convergence of the pandemic with neoliberal rationality, this article examines the financial advisory discourse produced by credit and fintech co…
Media Evidence and Forensic Journalism
This essay engages with the question of surveillance and evidence by considering the use of media forensics in journalistic storytelling. The use of video evidence and other data derived from surveillance systems to assemble investigative news results in a documentary form of what Thomas Levin (2002) calls surveillant narration—a tendency in cinema to treat surveillance thematically while at the same time incorporating it into the structure of th…
Policing as Digital Platform
Much of the discussion about platforms and “platform capitalism” centers on commercial platform companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple. Shoshana Zuboff’s (2015) analysis of “surveillance capitalism” similarly focuses on Google as the trailblazer pushing the new logic of accumulation that is focused on data extraction and analysis of human activities. In his typology of platform companies, Nick Srnicek (2017) includes less visible indu…
Our Biometric Future
Since the 1960s, a significant effort has been underway to program computers to “see” the human face—to develop automated systems for identifying faces and distinguishing them from one another—commonly known as Facial Recognition Technology (FRT). While computer scientists are developing FRT in order to design more intelligent and interactive machines, businesses and states agencies view the technology as uniquely suited for “smart” surveillance—…
Big Data Surveillance
If conventional definitions of surveillance emphasize its systematic and targeted character (the notion that there is a specific "object" of surveillance), both aspects undergo some significant modifications when the goal is, generally speaking, to capture as much data as possible about everything, all the time, and hold on to it forever. [...]the ambitious scope of such surveillance raises a host of important issues associated with the infrastru…
The cultural labor of surveillance
This essay argues that the status of video evidence as an index of real events—a sign or representation that offers a direct, empirical connection to material reality—is the result of an intentional process of production. This process involves the repurposing of new technologies borrowed from the domain of creative media production in order to transform a chaotic field of raw surveillance video into useable evidence. In addition to the exchange i…
Key Questions for Communication and Critical-Cultural Studies
This essay addresses three key issues for critical-cultural studies: posthumanism, network infrastructures, and sustainability. The examples of Google Glass, Google's “Data Centers” online photo gallery, and James Cameron's film Avatar are used to briefly elaborate on the importance of these issues for critical-cultural studies, and to argue for the integration of materialist and representational forms of analysis
The Securitization of Financial Identity and the Expansion of the Consumer Credit Industry
This article examines the efforts on the part of the retail banking and credit card industry to securitize identity during the period of economic activity that led to the financial crisis. The article examines how, during this period, these industries built an expansive network infrastructure and devoted considerable attention to developing ways of automatically identifying and tracking the individuals who accessed that network. Thanks significan…
The Tampa 'Smart CCTV' Experiment
In June 2001, a neighborhood in Tampa, Florida called Ybor City became the first urban area in the United States to be fitted with a 'Smart CCTV' system. Visionics Corporation began a project with the Tampa Police Department to incorporate the company's facial recognition technology (FRT), called FaceIt, into an existing 36-camera CCTV system covering several blocks along two of the main avenues. However, this 'smart surveillance' experiment did …
