War and Film. The Aspects of Perception. By Paul Virilio. Translated by Bergljót S. Kristjánsdóttir, Elísabet Snorradóttir, Friðrik Rafnsson and Gauti Kristmannsson. Editor Bergljót S. Kristjánsdóttir.
In War and Film, Paul Virilio discusses the definition of the battlefield from the perspective of visual perception, and shows how strategy increasingly uses the technology of cinema to organize conflicts and conflict zones. He discusses unique technological achievements in the history of filmmaking, from Nadar's aerial photography technology in 1858 to the technocratic nature that characterized the Second World War and the Cold War, not least how the great powers have used film technology for espionage and military planning. War and Film predicted the video game form of the Gulf War and raises pressing questions about the relationship between visual technology, war, and religion.
