Algorithmic, interactive, responsive, operating… In the digital era, images change their shape and their modes of existence, they offer possibilities of action as much as they act. Produced by ” Machine vision”, objects of digitalization and calculations, images engage new collaborations between arts, sciences and technology.
Sociologist and art critic, Jean Paul Fourmentraux returns with a new book ” Interactive Images – contemporary Art, research and digital creation ” in the publishing house La Lettre Volée Collection “Essais”, January 2017. Focusing on these interdisciplinary dynamics, this book proposes to analyse the new figures of the interactive image. Drawing on the history of the arts and recent developments in networking, it presents and analyses the reflective and often critical works of artists who redefine the status of vision and images of the era digital. Emphasis is placed on the plurality of modes of existence of digital images as well as on the anthropological and/or socio-political dimension of artistic practices and media activists.
