The long-held idea of images as proof of reality vanished. Washed away by manipulative practices of image production our hyper-visual media streams have become highly subjective and emotional. Authenticity claims to be the new challenge while power structures shift and users become creators. Join us to explore the new paradox universe of [technical] images[1]!

[1]Into the Universe of Technical Images Vilém Flusser

This evening is the kick off of a workshop organised together with Froh!

Within two week-ends we will explore the shift of construction and perception of 'truth' in visual culture. Together we look at the role of technical applications within the de-/construction of truth. How can the tools we build and use shape how we publish and consume media? Who can we trust when the concept of truth has vanished? Can ideas of 'subjectivity' replace the notions of objectivity and rationality?
