The recent uproar over NSA dataveillance can obscure the fact that surveillance has been part of our lives for decades. And cinema has long been aware of its powermdash;and potential for abuse.In Closed Circuits; Garrett Stewart analyzes a broad spectrum of films; from M and Rear Window through The Conversation to Deacute;jagrave; Vu; Source Code; and The Bourne Legacy; in which cinema has articulatedmdash;and performedmdash;the drama of inspectionrsquo;s unreturned look. While mainstays of the thriller; both the act and the technology of surveillance; Stewart argues; speak to something more foundational in the very work of cinema. The shared axis of montage and espionagemdash;with editing designed to draw us in and make us forget the omnipresence of the narrative cameramdash;extends to larger questions about the politics of an oversight regime that is increasingly remote and robotic. To such a global technopticon; one telltale response is a proliferating mode of digitally enhanced ldquo;surveillancinema.rdquo;

I only wish the author had spent more time on the artistic application of GIMP and less on Web design and the like. I would recommend that Mr. Hammel write an extensive book on the artistic application of GIMP; such a book is highly needed.. He writes well and clearly.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. the artist in youBy Donald L. CamptonI purchased; "The Artists Guide to Gimp because I had a gap in my digital painting programs. As a novice I was looking for a simple and understandible reference to one of the best photographic programs I have used.GIMP 2.6 for Photographers: Image Editing with Open Source Software]; this book did not cover Painting as a product at all satisfactory.The Artists Gude to Gimp covers Gimp 2.8 and is well laid out and easy for novices to understand. If you need it for reference on how to subjects I can highly recommend it.Making new Brushes is easily followed and give instructions that even I could follow.I suggest that you "have a go at all tutorials and work through with the program running. remember it is not a romantic best seller.I recommend the Artists Guide to Gimp to any one Novice or experienced [[ASIN:1593274149 The Artists Guide to GIMP: Creative Techniques for Photographers; Artists; and Designers (Covers GIMP 2.8)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It covers a wide range of different techniquesBy Bodo BarwichThis book covers a wide range of different techniques that are easy to reproduce.It provides step by step tutorials that are easy to follow and help you see how different techniques of gimp can help you with your projects.In comparison with todays video tutorials I like written tutorials much better because you and mark the pace that suits you and your learning level. The book shows the navigation rutes that are easy to follow. something that I found quite hard with free video-tutorials.I still dont have worked through all the tutorial but I always see that I can learn still very much from this book to get better results with gimp.Thank you for this great book.
