Abstract: The process of data collection and manipulation introduces qualities of vision that are innate to digital media. Procedural differences transform the essence of interplayed ideas. 'To observe' is the visual axis of previous models of vision and media based on optics and the reconstruction of our sensory apparatus to record reality. Processes such as drawing, photography and moving images evolved based on the exploration of human senses and physiology. The process 'to observe' implies the action of selection of a part the real. Thus, as Jean Baudrillard states, representation “ ... stems from the principle of equivalence of the sign and of the real”. However the axis of 'to collect' seems to be more accurate in the digital medium. In this case, perception is defined by information. The information is acquired by the machine through functions executed in time intervals that are beyond the scale of human perception. The rhythm of the machine obliges the machine to see everything, to obtain a panopticon vision.
