MCQUIRE<BR>WEDNESDAY 10 OCTOBER, 6.15PM<BR>THE TERRITORY OF IMAGES<BR>CCP, 404
GEORGE ST, FITZROY, VICTORIA <BR><BR>In May 2007 global media giant Google
launched 'Street Views' enabling users to explore street level photographs in
selected city locations. The growing convergence of digital images, GPS
technology and internet distribution represents a significant new threshold in
the modern conception of the city as a territory of images. Beginning with
Charles Marville's pioneering city photography during the 'modernisation' of
Paris from 1856-1871, Scott McQuire will trace the way the camera initiates new
systems of 'mapping' appropriate to the modern city. McQuire argues that
Marville's work helps to prepare the ground for the emergence of modern
'statistical society'. While 'Street Views' builds on this history, it also
embodies a critical shift in which the representation of urban space gives way
to techniques of control based on risk management.<BR><BR><I>Scott McQuire
lectures in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of
Melbourne. His recent research has focused on the relation between media and
urban space, and his new book The Media City will be published by Sage in
February 2008.<BR></I><BR>For more information, please call CCP on 9417 1549 or
