The Virtual Window Interactive By Anne Friedberg Design by Erik Loyer Editor's Introduction 'As we spend more of our time staring into the frames of movies, television, computers, hand-held displays -- 'windows' full of moving images, text, icons, and 3D graphics -- how the world is framed may be as important as what is contained within that frame.' This opening declaration in Anne Friedberg's new book The Virtual Window: From Alberti to Microsoft, offers a glimpse of what is at stake in her expansive survey of visual culture over the past 500 years. The Virtual Window, published by MIT Press just weeks before the launch of the Vectors 'Perception' issue, offers the opportunity to think deeply about the entangled forces that contribute to the evolution of technologies of vision -- everything from the etymology of key terms in visual culture to the science of glass manufacturing.

Along the way, Friedberg seeks to theorize and historicize vision itself through a variety of critical 'lenses,' each of which operates in conjunction with certain technologies at specific moments in time.
