In 1991, when images of the Gulf War flooded the international media, it was virtually impossible to distinguish between real pictures and those generated on computer. This loss of bearings was to change forever our way of deciphering what we see. The image is no longer used only as testimony, but also as an indispensable link in a process of production and destruction. This is the central premise of Erkennen und Verfolgen, which continues the deconstruction of claims to visual objectivity 　　In War at a Distance, Farocki returns to themes explored in works such as Images of the World and the Inscription of War, bringing them technologically up to date. The automation of factory production is paralleled with the automation of destruction in warfare, and a new world of machine images is revealed – images not intended for human eyes, but for the visual tracking systems of the digital age. The video traces the history of missile guidance systems from WWII through the present day using visual artifacts of machine guidance systems, as well as training films, missile footage from the Gulf War, and flight and battle simulations. A coolly terrifying glimpse of the future.

Art historian James Fox explores how the power of images has transformed the modern world.

《图像研究》是一部桌面录屏作品，一幅罗兰·巴特抽烟的照片窗口缩小后，旋即弹出的窗口中是一段由电脑的前置摄像头所拍摄下的卷烟教学视频。与“如何去卷一根完美的香烟”同时出现在电脑桌面上的，是“如何去制作一副完美的图像，在这个窗口中，艺术家挪用了不同影像中的“教学片段”：从 Youtube上的 Photoshop教学，到哈伦・法罗基所拍摄下的《花花公子》杂志封面的制作过程，再到电影《放大》中商业影棚的拍摄场景……与这些不同的“如何去……”所对应的，是艺术家本人在作品中所做出的声明：“我，除非在万不得已的情况下，才会使用摄影机”，他的意思大概是在景观社会永远在场的现今，我们已无需生产出更多新的图像去制作一部影片。（OCAT 上海馆）

Kiarostami presents two cases for talking heads to evaluate in terms of morality, rights and responsibilities. Case One: Your son is in class, sitting in the back row. His teacher is writing on the board. A restless student in the back row makes a lot of noise. Not knowing who the culprit is, the teacher makes all the children sitting in the last two rows stay outside of the class until the weekend, unless they tell him who made the noise. After a few days spent outside of the classroom, your son relents and tattles on the boy who made the noise, so he can go back in and continue learning. Was he in the right? Case Two: The other students from the back row wait out the rest of the week outside of the class, before returning. Were they in the right?
