What's behind a picture? The term "metadata" is used to describe
the information that travels with a digital image file but is
unseen within the image itself. In our networked digital
environment, metadata is accessed by both human users and
artificial intelligences. Software algorithms orchestrate what
images we see and exchange while collecting the valuable data
generated by our interactions. In our moment, dominated by
image-based social media and surveillance, we are becoming
increasingly aware that understanding the information that
circulates unseen around photographic images is just as important
as seeing what they represent. This fascinating, fully-illustrated
publication explores new paradigms for understanding the ecology of
the photographic image through the work of an international
selection of contemporary artists and visual activists. This
includes not just the tags or descriptors attached to image files,
but the power relationships, biases, and economic interests that
are not always visible in the image itself.
