Brooke Belisle
Brooke Belisle researches visual media and visual culture. Her interests intersect
with those of other IACS faculty and affiliates in areas of scientific imaging and
machine-mediated modes of vision and visualization--from lens-based through computational
technologies. She has written on computational photography and computer vision; immersive
and 3D imaging from the stereoscope through VR and AR; world-mapping and modeling
from plane-table surveying through Google Maps; how personhood and identity are visually
mediated; and ways that media aesthetics shape embodied and perceptual experience.
Committed to interdisciplinary collaboration, she directs the Graduate Certificate in Media, Art, Culture, and Technology; has team-taught with colleagues in Computer Science and Sociology; and is a co-mentor
with astrophysicist Alan Calder on the IACS project Data + Computing = Discovery. Her first book, Depth Effects: Dimensionality from Camera to Computation relates AI-enabled techniques of computational imaging to almost-forgotten practices
of 19th century photography. She is working on a second book about astronomical visualization,
exploring the coimbrication of art and science in how we know and picture the universe.
