Dans ce texte, Adorno et Horkheimer démontrent que toute manifestation culturelle et tout moyen de diffusion – film, radio, magazine – forment un système et que, face à ce système, nulle voix ne peut se faire entendre. Obéissant aujourd’hui à une logique extensive, l’industrie culturelle devient, dans le capitalisme avancé, une industrie du divertissement. L’amusement(...)

Résumé:
Dans ce texte, Adorno et Horkheimer démontrent que toute manifestation culturelle et tout moyen de diffusion – film, radio, magazine – forment un système et que, face à ce système, nulle voix ne peut se faire entendre. Obéissant aujourd’hui à une logique extensive, l’industrie culturelle devient, dans le capitalisme avancé, une industrie du divertissement. L’amusement n’est en outre que « le prolongement du travail ». Aussi, celui qui en jouit, s’il échappe alors au travail automatisé, ne crée que les conditions pour être en mesure de s’y confronter à nouveau.

Résumé:
Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, photography, film, and posters played an essential role in the campaign to disseminate modernity and Communist ideology. From early experimental works by Alexander Rodchenko and El Lissitzky to the modernist photojournalism of Arkady Shaikhet and Max Penson, Soviet photographers were not only in the vanguard of style and technological innovation but also radical in their integration of art and politics. Filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov, Sergei Eisenstein, and Esfir Shub pioneered cinematic techniques for works intended to mobilize viewers.

Résumé:
At the end of the 1950s William Eggleston began to photograph around his home in Memphis using black-and-white 35mm film. Fascinated by the photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eggleston declared at the time: "I couldn't imagine doing anything more than making a perfect fake Cartier-Bresson." Eventually Eggleston developed his own style which later shaped his seminal work in color-an original vision of the American everyday with its icons of banality: supermarkets, diners, service stations, automobiles and ghostly figures lost in space.

Résumé:
« Françoise Sullivan. Une ligne imaginaire / An Imaginary Line prend le relais du catalogue d’exposition Françoise Sullivan. Trajectoires resplendissantes / Radiant Trajectories (Galerie de l’UQAM, 2017) pour fédérer les connaissances récemment mises à jour et les contextualiser dans le sens d’une interaction plus définie entre le développement de la pensée de l’artiste et son corpus des années 1970. Tel un récit qui s’incarne dans les lieux où a vécu Sullivan, en particulier l’Italie, l’ouvrage s’intéresse particulièrement à son travail lié à l’art conceptuel et ancré dans la photographie, le film et les actions performatives. »

Résumé:
"A shadow of a man in the mirror" present stills taken from the 1934 experimental film "Hands" captioned with 'subtitles' created using image-to-text software. The captioning program, NeuralTalk, is one of the first machine vision models designed to write sentences that describe images' contents rather than simply identifying the objects present within them. This book exposes the limits of object recognition technologies; the inaccurate outcomes make explicit the unstable relation between images and what they are deemed to represent. An accidental poetry often arises from the erratic space of the machine.

Résumé:
"Nothing but clouds" were the words used by the research commission in Andrey Tarkovsky’s 1986 film "Solaris" to deny video evidenced traces of alien life on the planet. Taking this disclaimer as the title, this meditative book by Kristina Jurotschkin brings together images, made in various places in Europe over numerous years, from her photographic archive. The result is a possible archive of the future of our present, or an archaeological survey anticipated for the future. Examining the construction of our social reality, Jurotschkin presents alienating views of everyday spaces.
