The Uncertain Image Ekman Ulrik
Citizens of networked societies are almost incessantly accompanied by ecologies of images. Images appear more certain as the technical capacities that render them visible increase. These ecologies of still and moving images present a paradox of uncertainties emerging along with certainties.
Images present themselves as so many promises of the certainty, predictability, and intelligibility offered by data. At the same time, images are touched by more uncertainty as their numbers, manipulabilities, and contingencies multiply.With the emergence of big data, the image is becoming a dominant vehicle for the construction and presentation of the truth of data. The focus of this book is twofold.
It analyses the kinds of images appearing today, showing how they are marked by a return to modern photographic emphases on high resolution, clarity, and realistic representation.
