This collection delves into the intricate ways in which the networked image establishes new social practices and presents novel challenges for cultural practitioners involved in the creation, curation, teaching, exhibiting, archiving, and preservation of born-digital objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe traditional mode of vision and imaging, established through photography over the past two centuries, has undergone a radical reconfiguration driven by a convergence of algorithms, computing, programmed capture and display devices, and a multitude of online platforms. The image in this new context is characterized by its filtered, fluid, fleeting, permeable, mobile, and distributed nature, profoundly altering our perception and understanding of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters included in this volume are the result of extensive research conducted at the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image (CSNI) and in collaboration with The Photographers Gallery over the past ten years. The contributors to this book explore the profound shifts in the meanings and values of hybridized media within socio-technical networks, shedding light on the encroaching automation of culture through the application of AI, social media platforms, and the financialization of data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis interdisciplinary collection draws upon a diverse range of disciplines, including media and cultural studies, art history, art practice, photographic theory, user design, animation, museology, and computer science, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the specific cultural implications of the rapid succession of changes in image technologies. By employing a multi-faceted approach, the collection aims to bring the story up to date and offer valuable insights to scholars and students of visual culture, media studies, and photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe networked image has revolutionized the way we consume, share, and create visual content, reshaping our relationships with images and challenging the established norms and conventions of visual culture. This collection serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to navigate the complex terrain of the digital age, offering a comprehensive examination of the transformative power of the networked image and its implications for society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 620g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367550585\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104075903226,"sku":"9780367550585","price":151.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657880475792_book.jpg?v=1658001076","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-networked-image-in-postdigital-culture-9780367550585","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
