Black Mirror Reflections
نویسنده
چکیده
In One Dimensional Man (1964) and Repressive Tolerance (1965), German philosopher and political theorist Herbert Marcuse claimed that developing technology institutes new, more effective, and more pleasant forms of social control and social cohesion, making totalitarian control through terrorisation unnecessary. Rather, ‘advanced industrial society’ creates false needs which integrate individuals into the existing system of production and consumption via mass media, advertising, and industrial management. ‘15 Million Merits’, the second episode of British TV series Black Mirror (Channel 4, 2011), co-written by Charlie Brooker and Konnie Huq, presents a perfect platform for exploring some of Marcuse’s most prophetic observations.

Forward Mapped Planar Mirror Reflections
This paper presents a new technique, which we call depth-preserving reflection mapping, to render mirror-like reflections on planar surfaces in constant time. It is a hybrid solution which combines geometry-based rendering and imagebased rendering into a two-pass mirror reflection rendering approach. The technique extends the traditional reflection mapping to preserve depth per texel and uses f...
متن کاملReflections on the Paper Supervision of Supervision (3)
In your intrapsychic space, we find the internal relation to your familiar objects of identification being represented, as you very nicely explain in your paper using specific words (mirror and black laces), but also your “internal supervisor”, which I understand as your ethical position in relation to different aspects of your life and professional identifications, etc., which (when in the pre...
متن کاملSeeing your own touched hands in a mirror modulates cross-modal interactions.
In mirror reflections, visual stimuli in near peripersonal space (e.g., an object in the hand) can project the retinal image of far, extrapersonal stimuli "beyond" the mirror. We studied the interaction of such visual reflections with tactile stimuli in a cross-modal congruency task. We found that visual distractors produce stronger interference on tactile judgments when placed close to the sti...
متن کاملNaïve predictions of motion and orientation in mirrors: From what we see to what we expect reflections to do.
The study aimed to investigate naïve beliefs regarding the dynamic and static behavior of reflections. In the first three experiments, participants in the study made predictions about the correspondence between real and reflected movements or about the orientation of the reflection of a static object placed in front of a mirror. In Experiments 1 and 2, paper-and-pencil tasks were used and in Ex...
متن کاملMicrosoft Word - AsynchronousReflections-Final-Wei-mchu_bo.docx
Abstract -In this paper, we present a theoretical framing of the functions of a mirror by breaking the synchrony between the state of a reference object and its reflection. This framing provides a new conceptualization of the uses of reflections for various applications. We describe the fundamental technical components of such systems and illustrate the technical challenges in two different f...
