Summary
"Tactics of Interfacing explores how digital technologies affect the ways we conceive of the "self". The digital sheds a new light on what is so fundamental for sustaining our human sense of the self, the psychological effects of the mechanisms of projection and recognition. Biofeedback, machine vision and remote sensing technologies enhance and augment our ability to understand and reflect on ourselves, but they also simulate our image and sense of ourselves and our relations with others and with the environment. While allowing deeper and more intimate connection to oneself, they also become means for manipulation and control - manipulation of our understanding and feeling of who we are. The author argues that digitally mediated versions of ourselves create feedback loops that place us in an intersubjective space, confusing the boundaries of the 'self', and therefore, challenging our capacity to feel human"-- Provided by publisher.
