“Brooke Belisle’s Depth Effects: Dimensionality from Camera to Computation provides a masterclass in the productivity of interdisciplinary approaches to media theory . . . . Beautifully written and thoroughly researched, this book provides a succinct articulation of the connections between artificial intelligence, photogrammetric capture, facial recognition, and colonial expansion as separate enunciations of an enduring paradigm.” 

“Appealing and accessible to a wide audience, Belisle’s Depth Effects is well written and articulated with a thoughtful and precise argument that connects technical information with a deep cultural understanding. It builds on art and visual communication history alongside phenomenological philosophy to show the reader technologies that sought to capture but did not quite succeed in finding dimensionality in images.”
