This new edition of The Photographic Image in Digital Culture explores the condition of photography after some 20 years of remediation and transformation by digital technology. Through ten especially commissioned essays, by some of the leading scholars in the field of contemporary photography studies, a range of key topics are discussed including: the meaning of software in the production of photograph; the nature of networked photographs; the screen as the site of photographic display; the simulation of photography in the videogame; photography, ubiquitous computing and technologies of ambient intelligence; developments in vernacular photography and social media; the photograph and the digital archive; the curation and exhibition of the networked photograph; the dominance of the image bank in commercial and advertising photography; the complexities of citizen photojournalism.

Summary:
The Human Snapshot draws upon a conference of the same name organized by the LUMA Foundation and Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. The look toward art and photography stems from theorist Ariella Azoulay’s research on the seminal exhibition “The Family of Man,” first installed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955, which she frames as a lens through which to view universalism at play. These values have been under conceptual assault in recent years, yet they continue to proliferate—even through the visual arts, where humanism and universalism are customarily dismissed. The Human Snapshot takes these themes and wrestles with their application in the use of photography, the exhibition format, contemporary democracy, human rights discourse, and the power of the image at large.

Summary:
Bien plus qu’un catalogue d’exposition, cet ouvrage de référence abondamment illustré présente les œuvres des vingt-cinq expositions de l’événement, et comprend des essais rédigés par des experts en art contemporain et en technologie. L’appareil photo n’est pas seulement un outil en attente d’être saisi et utilisé, mais aussi un instrument sophistiqué possédant ses propres lois, son propre fonctionnement, voire sa propre vie. Grâce à l’automatisation de ses mécanismes – et, plus récemment, l’intégration de l’ordinateur –, l’appareil photo est désormais capable d’intention et d’action. Il peut voir ce qui est invisible à l’oeil nu, fonctionner sans relâche, atteindre des endroits inaccessibles ou dangereux, et il peut aussi bien pénétrer le corps que voyager dans l’espace. On a longtemps considéré l’image comme étant l’aspect le plus important du processus photographique. Cependant, les artistes et les auteurs de Drone : l’image automatisée présentent une tout autre conception. Au centre de leurs préoccupations se trouve la relation en pleine mutation entre le corps et l’appareil photo, et la manière dont celui-ci peut opérer avec un minimum d’intervention. Tandis que l’humain s’appuie de plus en plus sur la technologie pour prolonger sa vision, l’appareil photo devient une extension du corps. De la télévision en circuit fermé à Google Street View, des contrôles à distance aux robots, des photomatons aux drones, l’appareil photo est en voie de redéfinir les conditions de l’existence humaine.

Picturing Mexico: From the Camera Lucida to Film explores the early artistic and cultural factors that contributed to the emergence of film in a heterogeneous media environment at the turn of the 20th century. Focusing his attention upon lithographs and photographs of Mexico created by European and North American visitors, Fullerton argues that the introduction of the illustrated press and the popular photographic album towards the end of the 19th century transformed the private space of the printed page. He contends that the dynamics of the moving image were informed by the convergence of these media forms.
