Dominique Gracia
Word & Image 35:1 (2019 ) 89-96

ABSTRACT
Friedrich Kittler’s media history is rarely employed by humanities scholars, who are often alienated by his disregard for literary content or humanistic concerns. This article makes the case for engaging with Kittler’s theories as a natural extension of the materialist turn common to a number of humanities disciplines. Here, I assemble a ‘toolkit’ from Kittler’s ideas of recursion and transposition, and the study of cultural techniques that has flowed from his works, in order to propose a new way to conceive of ekphrasis and approach ekphrastic verse. I -position ekphrasis as an informative example of recursion in action. I compare Kittler’s media history—and the insights yielded by the tools it offers us—to some of the most influential studies of ekphrasis and ekphrases, showing how a Kittlerian approach can shine a new light on the genre. I also offer a short illustrative example of applying these tools to ekphrastic work by analyzing Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s ‘A Sea Spell’, by which I also hope to demonstrate how Kittler’s ideas can assist twenty-first-century scholars in bridging the gap between our own medial situation and those in which our objects of study were produced.

Keywords: ekphrasis, Friedrich Kittler, media history, recursion, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, double works]]></description>

    <dc:creator>asfaltics</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Editor’s note:
I reproduce this marvellous 1964 painting by the eminent photographer Bill Dane as an example of ‘Reverse Ekphrasis’. I coined* this term informally to comment on the painting elsewhere and a subsequent exchange led me to consider: ‘In what way would ‘reverse Ekphrasis’ differ from ‘Illustration’ – why complicate matters?
My answer is that Bill’s painting transcends illustration in the same way that the best Ekphrastic writing transcends simple description – it has qualities and dimensions all its own which supplement and develop at the highest level its subject – ‘Victory – an Island Tale’ the rich, odd, flawed late novel by Joseph Conrad.

Reconstructing an image from its local descriptors

abstract :
This paper shows that an image can be approximately reconstructed
based on the output of a blackbox local description
software such as those classically used for image indexing.
Our approach consists first in using an off-the-shelf
image database to find patches which are visually similar to
each region of interest of the unknown input image, according
to associated local descriptors. These patches are then
warped into input image domain according to interest region
geometry and seamlessly stitched together. Final completion
of still missing texture-free regions is obtained by
smooth interpolation. As demonstrated in our experiments,
visually meaningful reconstructions are obtained just based
on image local descriptors like SIFT, provided the geometry
of regions of interest is known. The reconstruction allows
most often the clear interpretation of the semantic image
content. As a result, this work raises critical issues of privacy
and rights when local descriptors of photos or videos
are given away for indexing and search purpose.

"For large scale image search, efficiency
requires that geometry information (position and shape of
interest regions) is first ignored and local appearance descriptors
are aggregated, e.g., within a bag of visual words"]]></description>

However, instead of producing an image, this prototype outputs a text description of the scene. Modern digital cameras capture gobs of parsable metadata about photos such as the camera's settings, the location of the photo, the date, and time, but they don't output any information about the content of the photo. The Descriptive Camera only outputs the metadata about the content."]]></description>
