Chapter of: B C, Before Computers: On Information Technology from Writing to the Age of Digital Data(pp. 89–96)
Recording and representing the real world, to our eyes and ears, involves a combination of ideas from these two domains. On the physics side, we are concerned with real world three-dimensionality and the optical spectrum; as far as our eyes and ears are concerned, we think about how we perceive colour and space. Representation of images and sound makes use of both aspects.
