Subject(s): Abstract: '...focuses on technology as a cultural-historical dream which, since the fifteenth century, has radically transformed our self-understanding of the material world and the human body. Technology is deeply rooted in a special kind of vision, linear perspective vision, which developed the modern sense of the self as detached spectator, the world as a measured spectacle, and the body as an observed specimen.'
