| The(re)(s)is | | hi, again... it's 2023... |
|
| |
|
| I will try to produce an essay about the status of photography today, how it correlates in our living time
| | ==Methods== |
| and how it is positioned within Contemporary art.
| |
|
| |
|
| Writers/Authors to whom I refer: W. Benjamin, B. Groys, W.Fluser, J. Tagg, M. Foucault, S. Zuboff, H.
| | [[Bojan Salaj]] |
| Steyerl, J. Bridle,…
| |
| | |
| Key themes: Photography/Information/Economy, Surveillance, …
| |
| | |
| Incomprehensible or Inscrutable are the words we are using quite often when trying to reflect the time
| |
| and the world we are living in. But let´s try with the notion of Economy that is, at least I think so, the
| |
| structuring principle of the entire social totality. Thus, when traying to reflect Photography(ies) today,
| |
| it is much more suitable to think about Economy of information than about an image expression.
| |
| My interest is primarily focused on the changing modality of the medium and apparatus of
| |
| photography today, as well as theirs interconnectedness with institutional and power relations
| |
| that retroactively operate on them through new knowledges and technology. Photography and its
| |
| contemporary proliferative or multi-productive nature is the leading actor in creation the continuously
| |
| “flowing” process in all streams of mutual social and technological relations. Consequently, it
| |
| determines and establishes specific relationships of (ab)use and power relations and is proactively
| |
| integrated into control systems. …
| |
| | |
| The “essay” will refer on my previous project realized in 2014 in National Gallery in Ljubljana. The
| |
| Exhibition/Project was named: “Interiors/Correspondences”. I can say that as a practitioner (an artist)
| |
| I had no need or enough time to rethink my past work accurately. Therefore I´ll take this opportunity
| |
| as a privilege.
| |
| | |
| About criteria, I think I am aware that theme or topics are wide (maybe too wide), but still, I hope
| |
| there will be an outcome which won´t just explain the complexity of the project, but will open the
| |
| horizon for further investigation. Thus, I am excited about the process itself and convinced the time
| |
| won´t be wasted.
| |
| For next session, 22nd February:
| |
| -reading some parts of (mentioned) books, articles
| |
| -structure of text
| |
| | |
| | |
| Supplement:
| |
| Computer generated photography…
| |
| …is an image that serves a machine as its own result, and the final outcome-an image, if we can even call it (perhaps a diagram would be a more appropriate term), could also be of a different form. The machine does not care about formal solutions, it acts as its program requires it to be triggered when it detects a "malfunction" based on the program, regardless of its shape, shape or mode in which it appears as (perhaps) an image. This Machine is a Tool-Weapon that in the process of several thousand years of physiological and historical development of the arm extension serves like terribly self-sufficient and totally de-subjectivized and as such drives into dystopian threat; IT is something between Blade Runner and Terminator. Consequently, one can assume that the meaning of an image (a photograph) is drawn by a spineless centrifugal force-power, sucking in towards an indeterminate, incomprehensible and undefined centre. From the Dark Chamber to the Black Hole. From Camera Obscura to Cavum Nigrum.
