This study traces a genealogy of automatic vision of gestuality. Its text is organized into three parts. Its first part describes how the technical reproducibility of images came to be used to replicate gestures, to abstract them, and to expropriate them in several fields. Its second part shows that the matrix of the contemporary technical model, aimed at predicting behaviour, is already partially defined by cybernetics. Finally, the last part analyses computer-assisted vision devices using the automated detection of gestures and movements to predict and control driving. This genealogical outline highlights two vectors of transformation: a gradual abstraction and expropriation of gestures by technical imaging and a relative erasure of identity and subjectivity when the predictive bias of technical imaging is reinforced.
