Criminal trials have traditionally favoured live, physically present, embodied human testimony. A paradigm shift is occurring with the increasing use of video technologies in criminal proceedings, hinting at a future immaterial, digitized posthuman courtroom. My PhD research at the University of Sydney explores the expanding use of video technologies and the associated disappearance of the human body from the criminal justice system.
As I look forward to my trip to England shortly, it's interesting to see how prison video link technology is being used on the other side of the planet.
