Description
Summary:Fragmentation of the Photographic Image in the Digital Age challenges orthodoxies of photographic theory and practice. Beyond understanding the image as a static representation of reality, it shows photography as a linchpin of dynamic developments in augmented intelligence, neuroscience, critical theory and cybernetic cultures. Through essays by leading philosophers, political theorists, software artists, media researchers, curators and experimental programmers photography emerges not as a mimetic or a recording device but simultaneously as a new type of critical discipline and a new artform that stands at the crossroads of visual art, contemporary philosophy and digital technologies.
