In her new book Analog Algorithm – Landscapes of Machine Learning, Susanne Huth photographs architectural aspects of the new digital cultural landscapes in Silicon Valley, San Francisco and the Bay Area. The novel Microserfs by Douglas Coupland (first edition 1995) provides the inspiration for the photography and the essay by Maren Lübbke-Tidow as well as the book’s design and typography. Indeed, the cover of Analog Algorithm references the cover of the 1996 edition. The fonts are those used in Microserfs, specifically Helvetica, Courier and Chicago, all of which helped shape the typographic aesthetic of the internet in the 1990s. The photographs are complemented by an illustrative series featuring abstractions and evolutions of the websites of the companies that were photographed for the book, such as Google, Facebook and LinkedIn. The light tones of the photographs in the book emulate Henry Wessel’s analogue prints, particularly those featured in works such as California and the West and Night Walk for night shots.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
