What if we turned our perspective around and, instead of asking what 
impact the computer has had on moving images, explored what computer 
iconography looks like in and through audiovisual media? The special 
issue of ILUMINACE tackles this question, diving into the complex and 
often contradictory portrayals of computer labor in film and television 
series.
This issue features both written papers and audiovisual essays. The 
lineup includes:

*Veronika Hanáková: Configuring Computer Labor in Film and Audiovisual 
Media: An Introduction to a Special Issue
*Steve F. Anderson: Envisioning the Interface
*Daniel O’Brien: The Allure and Threat of the Cine-Computer: A Supercut 
of *Onscreen Computers in Speculative Screen Fiction
*Occitane Lacurie: Ordinatrices: About the Negative Spaces of Early 
Computing
*Simone Dotto: Do Corporate Films Dream of Cybernetic Governance? 
Computers (as Metaphors of) Industrial Labor and Society in 
Olivetti-Sponsored Films
*Matěj Pavlík: Techniques and Technologies to Compensate for Powerlessness
*Tibor Vocásek: Who Is Awful? Black Mirror and the Dystopian Imaginary 
of AI Labor
*David Álvarez: Nostalgia Isn’t What it Used to Be: On Vaporwave’s 
Glitched, Aspirational Aesthetics
