Titre: Seizing Attention: Devices and Desires Auteur:Stafford, Barbara Maria Sujet:Technology ; Optics ; Art History; Description:
Whatever else early modern technological devices did, they artfully vied for our undivided attention. Mirrors, cameras obscura, microscopes, telescopes, Claude glasses, kaleidoscopes, clockwork automata as well as the optical telegraph and the pinhole camera, perceptually and cognitively focused our selective attention. This coda prompts us to ask what such diverse devices can teach us about the hard-wired and culturally modified operations of human attention - in both the past and the present. It argues for the deep interfusion of historical studies with contemporary art and technology research initiatives, in order to make a serious start on defining higher-order image investigations that take into account the basis of all cognitive activity.

Titre: Thoughts Not Our Own: Whatever Happened to Selective Attention? Auteur:Stafford, Barbara Maria Contributeur:Yoshimi, Shunya (Editor) Sujet:Attention ; Art ; Neuroscience ; Social Sciences (General) Description:
There are now many important contributions to the scientific study of the brain-mind continuum. These results come both from research into non-ordinary states of consciousness and into the brain's intrinsic, largely unconscious mechanisms. The larger potential of such investigations consists precisely in making the parameters of our cognitive system apparent. But they also reveal the socio-cultural uses to which these parameters are currently, or in the foreseeable future, being applied. This article wrestles with that fact. Specifically, it examines the implications for those of us interested in the dynamics of visual awareness and the structural and phenomenological aspects of noticing. Because some of the key characteristics of consciousness are so ingrained that we are usually blind to them, it is all the more important to understand how and why we pay attention to certain features of our environment. Subjective consciousness pertains to the realm of inner experience as...
