“Almost a century ago, in one of the earliest written pronouncements to highlight an emerging technology—a certain device, Dziga Vertov began his Kino Manifesto with the statement: “I am an eye, a mechanical eye. I—a machine, show you the world as only I can see it.” (Vertov, 1923) It is clear that even in its early stages, artists and filmmakers like Vertov have recognized the lurking audacity a machine like the camera possessed, which would soon proclaim its power over the people.”
