Trevor Paglen and the 'Seeing Machines'

Renowned American artist Trevor Paglen 
(Invisible: Covert Operations and Classified 
Landscapes, The Last Pictures) is our guest 
blogger on 'Still Searching' till April 15. His 
topic: The world of 'seeing machines' - from 
iPhones to facial recognition algorithms to 
automated military targeting systems - and what 
they mean in terms of 21st Century photography. 
Paglen's first blog contribution that has already 
attracted quite a few comments starts with many 
questions, for instance this one: 'But if a 
traditional understanding of 'photography' is 
ill-suited to making sense of the 21st Century's 
photographic landscape, then how do we begin to 
think about what 'photography' has become and is 
becoming?'
