Camera vision

This not only refers to the fact that cameras only have one vision and the push to have people believe that machine vision is more 'objective' than human eyesight. This concept of digital reality proposes that the camera can see objects and is, as a result, less subjective and more objective than human vision and is encapsulated by Walter Benjamin's concept of the camera's "optical unconscious," which he developed in the 1930s.
