Welcome to the Media Factory seminar:

Digital Visuality – The multiple societal uses of images
17.12.2009
13.00-17.00
TKK, TUAS, TU 5
The seminar has as its aim to discuss and develop further the new Media Factory Research Track called “Digital Visuality” that is still in the plannig phase. In other words, it is a good opportunity to get involved.
Whenever we make use of images we encounter them embedded in pre-established settings. We are informed about their possible functions, and the images themselves are formatted for use. Formatting is here understood in a wide sense including various technical operations concerning accessibility, distribution and quality of images as well as design, metadata and discourses that contribute to embedding the images in functional contexts. In this sense we can speak of “formatted images” that inform us about their possible uses, interpretations and meanings they convey.
During the first steps of developing the track we recognized that our ways of thinking of images differ fundamentally. Alone the distinction image/picture opens up debates that cannot easily be settled. Against this background, we think that “formatted images that inform us” can be a useful notion in approximating the common denominator of the various research projects making up the planned research track “Digital Visuality”.
The notions of “informing” and “formatting” allow us to focus on the various aspects of embedding the images into various contexts. Consequently, the image (or picture) “itself” appears as an effect of these operations.
From this starting point “Digital Visuality” research track that we are now developing intends to investigate the multiple uses of images and pictures in contemporary society. The field of intended research can be presented in terms of five domains that will be renegotiated with future track partners:
1. Managing pictures, images and visual assets.
2. Creating new visual orders
3. Visual identities
4. Cultural agency of pictures
5. Extending the limits of performance
