Produktbeschreibung
Offering a new interdisciplinary perspective to the scale and quantity of images in contemporary visual culture. The writing brought together in this volume, by renowned and emerging scholars of media, art, and photography, addresses the epistemological, aesthetic as well as political implications of various forms of scaling in both scholarly and artistic work. From the mass image in vernacular culture to transformations of photography in contexts of big data and artificial intelligence, these essays and conversations address the massification of photography, proposing a shift into a fundamental re-evaluation of our theoretical coordinates so as to understand the underpinning media and culture of this change. Taken together, these essays call for a reconsideration of both scholarly and artistic approaches and concepts in the face of our contemporary image excess. TomáS Dvorák is Assistant Professor in the Department of Photography, FAMU in Prague. Jussi Parikka is Visiting Professor in the Department of Photography, FAMU in Prague and Professor of Technological Culture and Aesthetics at the Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton.
