2. Mobility, data and perception The question is not how
perception arises, but how is it limited [] to know how and why
this image is chosen to form part of my perception, while an
infinite number of other images remain excluded from it (Henri
Bergson, Matter and Memory, 1912: 34). The data of the senses, left
to themselves, present to us the real movement as an undivided
whole. The division is the work of our imagination to fix the
moving images of our ordinary experiences, like the flash which
illuminates a stormy landscape by night (1912: 248). Francis
Galton, Composite Portraits, 1878.
3. Flattening the border: MapReduce & predictive analytics
Every call, tweet, e-mail, download, or purchase generates valuable
data. Companies and governments are increasingly relying on Hadoop
MapReduce to unlock the hidden value of this rapidly expanding data
[] Sensor output, videos, log files, location data, genomics,
behavioural data are just a few of the data sources driving Hadoop
use (MapR for Apache Hadoop, 2011). J has been pre-paid to
transport human cargo across the border. Earlier, he went to change
pesos to US dollars. Yesterday he drove his truck to a local
cantina for a drink. He didnt notice the Aero Vironment drone
flying overhead, which caught several images of him and his truck.
All of these events were captured by different systems. The
challenge is detecting and correlating significant events from all
the other images, transaction, and communications. The predictive
perimeter alert is triggered by a pattern of events in an event
stream processing system software that consumes streams of
real-time data and converts them into actionable decision patterns
(Predictive Perimeter 2014).

alongside new technological forms of spectacle, display, projection
