ABSTRACT

Chapter 10, “The Assemblage Gaze,” considers variables and elements that define what can be defined as the reflexive view of the world that emerges from the modular combination of media forms. The assemblage gaze enables and shapes human engagement with objects, things, concepts, and ideas according to the concept of the machinic. The guidelines of this chapter are designed to explore the process of perception that arises as humans engage with the world once data becomes not only integral but foundational in media. On these terms, the assemblage gaze can be thought of as a non-human gaze.
