the Unknown Person connects the artist's family history to Britain's postcolonial “fictioning.” The project interrogates the gaze of surveillance and social control systems to explore the fiction of the self, data and liminal spaces of the City of London. The final output of this research is a video documentary that employs machine learning processes and facial recognition techniques to generate visuals to reveal the aesthetic value of a neural network. The project culminated as an installation of multiple screens mounted on a scaffolding structure.

Today, transit control systems go beyond simple controllers located at the intersections of our streets, involving large companies in the field, which with the implementation and use of sophisticated equipment encompass endless new and advanced technologies that manage to give control to the massive automotive park, thus ensuring fluidity and road safety. Many of these systems are used in the big world capitals, which is why the model used in Santiago, Chile is a system applied and brought directly by the SIEMENS Company of England (specifically the system used in the City of London). It is capable of transmitting the different control signals in a similar and digital way from the different interconnected devices in and out of the road infrastructure.

The article examines the representation of the city in rooftopping photography. Methodologically, the research is based on A. Lefebvre’s concept of social space, and also M. de Certeau’s concept of spatial practices as agents of its production. The principal notions in this analytical framework employed in the article are the urban imaginary and the gaze in constructivist understanding, which not only reflects, but also forms the object of vision. Rooftopping photography is considered in the context of the history of the view of the city from above, which has become an important factor in the urban imagination. The expansion of rooftopping photography into the public space and the presentation of cities is associated with the development of new communication and optical representation technologies in the 2010s. The analysis of the rooftoppers’ visualizing of the city carried out in semantic, aesthetic and rhetorical aspects revealed its substantive and aesthetic qualities. Rooftoppers photos capture the moment when a person faces the city as a whole. The city converges with natural and landscape objects. In the night panoramas that make up the bulk of roofer photography, the city is represented as a space of energy flows. In rhetorical terms, in contrast to the metonymy of a promenade, roofer photography is metaphorical. In general, it is concluded that the subject of rooftopper photography is not so much the identity of the city as its universal urban beginning embodied in the centers of the world’s megalopolises. Following D. Nye and his interpreters, the aesthetic mode of the city in roofer visuality is interpreted as urban version of the sublime.

Landscape is people’s evaluation of the environment which is better and more meaningful to visit. Therefore, a landscape must have a good environment. Landscape exists in nature as well as in cities. Every corner of a city can be a landscape. Its connection with the city and the citizens is inseparable. However, due to the acceleration of urbanization, there are still many problems in the urban environment. To solve these problems perfectly, we should work from the aesthetic value and planning orientation of the landscape. Therefore, this paper discusses and analyzes the problems of urban environment and how to use the aesthetic value and orientation to construct urban environmental landscape.

Technology in one form or another has always been a part of urban life. Its development and uses have traditionally been dictated by the practical needs of the community. However, technologies also impact how a city looks and feels. Some technologies have a clear perceivable presence, whereas others are more invisibly embedded into the material structures of the city. This chapter is a study of how the aesthetic features of cities manifest through and in relation to technologies. The chapter bridges recent developments in philosophical urban aesthetics and contemporary approaches in the philosophy of technology. Central concepts include perception, aesthetic experience, aesthetic value, affordance, and attention. The chapter presents urban mobility as an example of how technology can be studied through the framework of urban aesthetics. The final part of the chapter highlights some implications of the aesthetics of technology for urban design.

This article proposes to add Instagram photography to a historical visual mapping of Havana during a period of renewed visibility. Further enabled by the features of Instagram’s format to ‘age’ photos and highlight specific textures and colours, These images draw on and contribute to a nostalgic vision of an exotic, underdeveloped Havana. Instagram photography emerges as an important touristic mode of imagining and experiencing the city. Yet despite the aesthetic overdetermination of these images, their captions and hashtags often stymie any suggestion of political meaning. Nevertheless, the networked image, organized and anchored by metadata such as the geotag and hashtag, further cements the signifier ‘Havana’ to the photographic image, and confirms the city as worthy of the gaze. Lastly, the paper reflects on the broader profile of those creating and circulating Instagram images of the city, arguing that a relative lack of access to digital technologies in Cuba has resulted in a strongly asymmetric gaze from the outside in.

Nilai estetik kedua-dua video dapat dilihat dari penggunaan teknik selang masa yang mendorong perspektif penonton mengenai aktiviti semula jadi dan aktiviti sosial yang berlaku dari sesuatu objek. Setelah disatukan ke dalam projek media audio-visual, keindahan objek dapat dipaparkan. Sebaliknya, perspektif yang dihasilkan melalui teknik video sinematik memberikan rasa objek, iaitu video yang mewakili kemegahan objek warisan budaya dengan sudut tinggi terus bergerak di atas objek. Hal Ini mendorong penonton untuk memperoleh maklumat dan nilai, yang disertakan melalui teknik video selang masa dan teknik video sinematik.   The development of information technology increasingly encourages people to develop and create innovation. Technology can develop human potential in creating a modern product. The rapid technological transformation from time to time is marked by the widespread of developing audiovisual media, as well as by techniques in video shooting such as time lapse and cinematic. This study examines the aesthetic values of time lapse and cinematic video techniques by taking a case study of two videos, namely Exploring Cultural Heritage: The Old Wall in Solo and The Beauty of the City of Solo (Surakarta). Analysis was done in five aspects, namely the uniqueness of ideas, content or message, communicative aspects, aesthetic values, and the quality of shooting and sound techniques. The authors focused on video analysis of time-lapse video technique and cinematic video technique based on aesthetic value which emerge. The aesthetic value of both videos can be seen from the use of time-lapse technique that encourages perspective viewers about the natural and social activities that occur from an object. Having been assembled into an audio-visual media project, the beauty of an object can be projected. On the other hand, the perspective developed through cinematic technique video media is to provide a sense of object, a video that represents the splendor of a cultural heritage object with a high angle continuously moving over the object. This is to lead the audience to be able to obtain messages and values, which are embedded through both time-lapse video technique and cinematic video technique.
