Performing the automated image

Anna Munster, Ned Rossiter

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

Elaborating an automated scene for gesture, this chapter examines critical practices for performing automated imaging. Such practices performatively investigate the self-conditioning grammar of operation specific to the contemporary automated image. Within the foreclosed horizon of computational systems, the gesture of generative imaging amplifies and overexposes the logistical mediality of the automated image. The chapter enlists critical and creative computational 'methods' of simulation and automation within the performance of a 'fake' design agency's efforts to 'elevate' its clients' (AI-generated) 'look' in the logistics industry. These experiments performatively over-expose the banal, generic aesthetics, and logistical conditions in the production of contemporary automated images.
