Near the beginning of the reading Wilder writes that soon after the advent of practical photography, the medium was seen as an accurate and unbiased way to capture the world. For most intent and purposes this is completely correct. I focused on this line as for one of my current projects, I am working to remove the camera distortion from pictures taken from a webcam so that the true coordinates of items in the picture can be determined. This is one of the important cases where photography does not adequately capture an unbiased view of the world. The bias can be seen, quite literally, near the edges of the captured image. In this case, I am trying to remove this bias, but I could see artistic opportunities that take advantage of such photographic biases. For example, you could take a set of perhaps twenty pictures centered at the same point at levels of magnification m where m = 0.9^n for n in the range 0 to 19. Then splice together the outermost 10% of each image so that each image of higher magnification is nested within the image of lower magnification. This should create a single image with the same level of high barrel distortion present near the edges of a picture throughout the entire image. This would create something interesting (but I’m not quite sure what).
