Join us for an evening with the artist Robert L. Bowen who will be discussing his new book, The Human Shutter (Intellect Press, 2025) with Natasha Chuk (media theorist and writer). The Human Shutter provides a complex reexamination of time perception in early stereographs. This study of the art of binocular vision offers a novel way to think about all lens-based and post-lens-based mediums.

Robert L. Bowen is a New York-based artist and writer who works in various formats, including video, photography, installation, architecture, stereoscopic media, site-specific visualizations, and performance.

Natasha Chuk, PhD is a media theorist and independent curator whose work focuses on the relations between art, philosophy, and creative technologies. Her forthcoming book Photo Obscura: The Photographic in Post-Photography (Intellect, 2025) critically examines the recent transformative leap in the “photographic” across mediums and AI-infused image-making practices.
