The Expanded Image: A Media Archaeology of Automated Image Processes

The one-day symposium which accompanies the exhibition Screenshots: Desire and Automated Image, features artists and scholars who consider contemporary forms of image making and its computational apparatus. By paying attention to (im)material properties of the post-photographic image they will unpack the relation between desire and automation, uncertainty and labour, self and other, and they will consider images as living and not just moving, operative and not just generative and generated.
