Digital images are created, cataloged, and, and shared online through a network of technologies including mobile devices and social media platforms ,creating an infinite public visual record of our existence. From online web searches to social networks both virtual and tangible, the three artists in this panel compile imagery through the process of data collection. For these projects, the artist is a curator as well as an image-maker. These artists are concerned with choosing, organizing, editing, and remixing, to better understand the collective cultural experience that is mediated through digital images.
By considering the photograph as data to be sorted, these artists are engaged in systems for which we store and present images that reflect the pictorial and social relationships connecting the camera, the photographer, and the spectator. The panel will discuss the different techniques and methodologies each artist considers, and ultimately chooses to utilize when creating their own narratives.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
