This presentation investigates the notions of scale and scalability from an eco-operational perspective. My point of departure is that the human way of being-in-the-world is always infused with technicity. This implies two things: First, that the human scale is not fixed but changeable, and second, that living bodies and technical machines are best understood in their entanglement. I discuss the limits of scalability by focusing on how imaging technologies displace the human-world relationship by instituting new operational realities that are neither human nor nonhuman but irreducibly both.

A. S. Aurora Hoel is a professor of media studies and visual culture at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Her research focuses on operational uses of technologies and media, including marine remote sensing, machine images, brain images, image-guided surgery, and scientific uses of photography. In parallel with this, she seeks to develop a theoretical framework to better understand operational images and media, seeking to establish an operational aesthetics and epistemology. Hoel has published widely in the overlapping fields of media theory, science studies, and the philosophy of technology.
