This text provides a history of visual perception and its (re)production. Surveying art history, as well as the technologies of war and urban planning, Virilio provides an introduction to a new "logistics of the image". "The Vision Machine" also traces the history of "regimes of the visual", from the era of painting, engraving and architecture, via the photogram and, more recently, infographics to synthetic imagery.
