The Virtual Window: From Alberti to Microsoft (review) Ian Verstegen. Anne Friedberg’s new book is about the ubiquity of windows in our lives, from paintings and the camera obscura to photography, film, televisions, computers and iPods: “Screens are now everywhere—on our wrists, in our hands, on our dashboards and in our.

Departing from those who define postmodernism in film merely as a visual style or set of narrative conventions, Anne Friedberg develops the first sustained account of the cinema's role in postmodern culture. She explores the ways in which nineteenth-century visual experiences—photography, urban strolling, panorama and diorama entertainments—anticipate contemporary pleasures provided by cinema, video, shopping malls, and emerging 'virtual reality' technologies. Comparing the visual practices of shopping, tourism, and film-viewing, Friedberg identifies the experience of 'virtual' mobility through time and space as a key determinant of postmodern cultural identity. Evaluating the theories of Jameson, Lyotard, Baudrillard, and others, she adds critical insights about the role of gender and gender mobility in the configurations of consumer culture.

A strikingly original work, Window Shopping challenges many of the existing assumptions about what exactly postmodern is. This book marks the emergence of a compelling new voice in the study of contemporary culture.

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. At first glance, Friedberg's elegantly crafted written work might not seem like an obvious source for digital reinterpretation.

Indeed, it is a rare historian who is willing to subject such exacting scholarship to an interactive format that allows (and even encourages) playfulness, anachronism and surprise. But the Virtual Window Interactive should not be regarded as a mere translation of the book. Through her collaboration with Erik Loyer, Friedberg uses the interactive format to construct a literal enactment of her critical paradigm of the 'split optic,' a form of parallel vision that considers both past and present simultaneously.
