Jacob Gaboury's scholarly work

Image Objects: The Archaeology of Computer Graphics

delves into the central theme of "objects

" augmenting the historical narrative of computer graphics by conducting a meticulous archaeological investigation of five key technological objects: algorithms

computer screen

the standardization of graphical objects

object-oriented programming

and graphics processing units. The primary objective is to establish a foundational account of the origins of computer graphics and scrutinize the profound influence of its development on contemporary society. According to Gaboury

computer graphics transcends mere visual representations to become an integral aspect of computer science history

reshaping computers from mere calculative devices into interactive platforms that hold potential for the future digital milieu

actively contributing to the transformation of the physical world through various channels.
