How the surge in aerial technologies, such as drones and satellites, influences visual culture beyond the screen.
The smooth flight from aerial overview to intimate close-up in Martin Scorsese's Hugo (2011) exemplifies the concept of proxistant vision: a combination of proximity and distance, close-up and overview, detail and the big picture, in a unified visual form. In Proxistant Vision, Synne Bull and Dragan Miletic develop the concept of proxistant vision and trace its emergence as a visual paradigm of the twenty-first century. As exemplified by Google Earth's digital swipe between globe perspective and street-level detail, proxistant vision currently proliferates across digital geography, computer games, architectural models, data visualizations, and CGI cinema. It is defined as the combination of proximity and distance in a single image, across a dynamic flight, or zoom.
