Summary:
"A matter of chance" explores the contemporary use of the photographic medium as a recording tool in support of scientific knowledge. In the age of screen culture, the volume investigates photography’s dual nature as both evidence and construction, examining the relationship between humans and their environment; their desire to control, measure and catalogue it, ultimately transforming it into a marketable product. The book is modelled according to the logic of an atlas and combines different photographic registers, including views of buildings in Silicon Valley’s technology hubs and data centres, images of scientific experiments taken in laboratories or studios, alongside a body of scientific archival materials sourced online from governmental institutions, research agencies and educational establishments.

Summary:
Carly Steinbrunn’s The Voyage of Discovery poses as the scientific report of a mission to discover and describe unknown worlds. The photographs present an inventory of findings, with an encyclopaedic curiosity reminiscent of the expeditionary narratives of James Cook and the travelogues of Claude Lévi-Strauss.Touching upon the realms of geography, botanics, anthropology and zoology, Steinbrunn’s body of work borrows from the varied approaches of the scientific register, and from the history of photography. Echoing Le Gray and Blossfeldt to evoke the aesthetic catalogue of photography’s own evolution, Steinbrunn also enfolds found images to question the transparency of the medium, where a photograph is simultaneously an index of reality and a fabrication.
