Third volume in the Negotiating Images series
Pictures both reflect and exert violence: AI mimics war photography in Gaza, snapshots from Abu Ghraib become a meme shared around the world, surveillance expands with automated production and analysis, and sexist pictures still permeate advertising and entertainment. Through the lens of several disciplines, the book investigates the politics of visual violence and its potential to provoke, subvert and transform social, political and media discourses. Artists and scholars discuss the whiteness of Silicon Valley's digital ecologies, gender and violence in news media and photography, transgressive practices and more, asking where violence begins, who decides what is violent and how production technologies and distribution channels shape the relationship. The third volume in the Negotiating Images series, after Shoot & Think (unibz) and Landscape with(out) Locus (NERO).
