In the organizer's words:

With Katja Müller-Helle . Art and media scholar / Katharina Täschner . Curator, C/O Berlin

Accompany Katharina Täschner and Katja Müller-Helle on a guided tour through the exhibitions Lisa Barnard . You Only Look Once and Isadora Romero . Notes on How to Build a Forest. Together they approach the subject of "seeing machines". The term was coined by the French philosopher Paul Virilio in the late 1980s and describes technologies that can accelerate, expand and ultimately even replace the human gaze. According to Virilio, these developments not only change our perception of the world, but also fundamentally shape our relationship to it.

Lisa Barnard 's exhibition takes us from the military history of aerial photography to the current possibilities of machine perception. Isadora Romero, on the other hand, explores experimental and speculative approaches in her works that use the camera to open up more-than-human perspectives. The tour invites visitors to trace these expanded, technically mediated forms of seeing.

Katja Müller-Helle is an art and media scholar. She is head of the research center The Technical Image at the Institute for Art and Visual History and the Institute for Cultural Technology at the Humboldt University in Berlin. She was a fellow at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles and at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome. She is interested in digital image cultures and image censorship, the history and theory of photography and processes of visual evidence production.
