Свържи се чрез образи Наскоро един мой приятел, за вино, писател, ми каза, че една красива жена от Калифорния, който беше чел книгите му с него и дойде да го посети в Ню Йорк. Тя обичаше книгите му и исках да се срещна реалния човек. Това е една стара история, търсене на жената е много по-бързо и по-лесно, отколкото тя би била преди 30 години, но тя може да се случи във всеки един момент след изобретяването на книги и пощенски услуги. Това ме накара да мисля на котировката, и аз не мога да си спомня кой каза, че първо, че първо споделена въображаем пространство език. Седейки в на панел в Европейския парламент наскоро, слушах, благотворителни работници и академичните среди изразиха своите опасения по отношение на използването на GPS данни, кодирани в изображения, заснети на мобилни телефони. Социалните мрежи позволяват за маркирането на изображения, и сега, че GPS данни могат да бъдат кодирани в изображението и настройките за поверителност може да бъде много течности през категории като "приятели на приятели" или "Мрежи", напълно непознати могат не само да се свържете с други хора чрез имиджа си, но разберете, където изображението е взето. И тогава, разбира се, има Google Earth, която е карта, направен изцяло от изображения. Тя изглежда като една естествена еволюция, че световете на текст, данни и изображения ще се слеят в един виртуален свят. В известен смисъл, разбира се, те вече имат по интернет, но мисля повече по линиите на вида на виртуалния свят, че Уилям Гибсън представял. Second Life има погрешна, защото опитите да се правят пространства, които отразяват реалните световни бизнес, марки и т.н. явно са разведени от реална информация, география и реални събития. RL / SL събития, които се опитват да се слеят двете са комично несръчност. Пространство, което мисля за би трябвало да бъде предимно визуално. Но като се има предвид нарастващата мрежа от данни и linkability на общопрактикуващите лекари, текст, визуални и други видове данни, тя може да бъде визуален свят, който всички ние допринасяме с нашите телефони с камера и други устройства. Представете си един свят, където всички изображения са портали в един виртуален свят. Така, например, можете да прочетете историята на първа страница на вестника на таблета ви устройство, което ви позволява да се движите в образа, който илюстрира. Или също така, изображение на социалната мрежа албум на приятел. Можете да отидете в изображението, около ъглите, можете да кликнете върху изображения на хора и изпращане на съобщения до тях чрез социалната мрежа. Хората вече използват изображения на себе си, тъй като аватара си, но какво ще стане, ако всеки образ на вас автоматично вашия аватар? Контекста на новина или приятел, може да бъде изоставен в полза на нов контекст и нова перспектива. Причината, поради която тази идея прави космите по врата ми се изправи, е така, защото това е по същество една еволюция на това, което вече е бил там в продължение на много години.

Archive for the ‘Photography’ Category Trust- Adam Broomberg and Oliver ChanarinFriday, January 20th, 2012 In Almost Every PictureWednesday, March 10th, 2010 Wallpaper has a great selection from Erik Kessels’ series of books, “In Almost Every Picture”. Kessels scours flea markets and the internet for vernacular images that, in series, contain narratives that are sometimes comic, sometimes poignant and occasionally quite creepy. Chris Jordan- Intolerable BeautyFriday, February 19th, 2010 I’m just remembering who Chris Jordan is. He’s the guy who did these images of garbage from a few years ago. He has also done projects Running the Numbers 1 & 2 that are on his site. Check em out and then breathe into a paper bag- number visualization has never been so unbearable. Chris Jordan- Appetite For DestructionFriday, February 19th, 2010 There’s an amazing slide show on Seed Magazine’s site of Chris Jordan‘s work in the Midway Islands, in the heart of what is known as The Great Pacific Garbage Patch- an enormous island of junk that’s formed by ocean currents between Japan and the US. These images are not staged- the birds simply mistook the brightly colored garbage for food and ate it. Contact through imagesFriday, February 12th, 2010 Recently a friend of mine, a wine writer, told me that a beautiful woman from California who’d read his books contacted him and came to visit him in New York. She had loved his books and wanted to meet the real person. It’s an old story, the woman’s search was much quicker and easier than it would have been 30 years ago, but it could have happened at any point after the invention of books and the postal service. It made me think of the quote, and I can’t remember who said it first, that the first shared imaginary space was language. Sitting in on a panel at the European Parliament recently, I listened as charity workers and academics voiced their concerns regarding the use of gps data encoded in images taken on mobile phones. Social networks allow for tagging on images, and now that gps data can be encoded in the image, and privacy settings can be very fluid over categories such as “friends of friends” or “networks”, complete strangers can not only contact other people through their image, but find out where the image was taken. And then of course there’s Google Earth, which is a map made entirely from images. It seems like a natural evolution that the worlds of text, data and images will merge into a virtual world. In a way of course they already have on the internet, but I’m thinking more along the lines of the kind of virtual world that William Gibson envisioned. Second Life has it wrong because the attempts to make spaces that mirror real world businesses, brands etc are manifestly divorced from real information, geography and real events. RL/SL events that attempt to merge the two are comically clunky. The space that I’m thinking about would have to be primarily visual. But given the increasing networking of data and the linkability of gps, text, visual and other types of data, it could be a visual world that we all contribute to with our camera phones and other devices. Imagine a world where all images are portals into a virtual world. So, for example, you read a story on the front page of the newspaper on your tablet device, which allows you to move around in the image that illustrates it. Or likewise, an image on a friend’s social network album. You can go forward in the image, around corners, you can click on the images of people and send messages to them via their social network. People already use images of themselves as their avatar, but what if every image of you was automatically your avatar? The context of the news story or the friend could be abandoned in favour of a new context and a new perspective. The reason why this idea makes the hairs on my neck stand up, is because it’s essentially an evolution of what has already been there for many years. Rineke Dijkstra interviewThursday, December 3rd, 2009 Related: The Buzz Club/Mysteryworld Nollywood- online debateFriday, October 16th, 2009 Seems as if there’s been a bit of a reaction to Pieter Hugo’s Nollywood series on online photo sites and blogs. Check out the response posted on Amy Stein’s blog and the comments on it. I guess everyone brings their own experience to it, but although I find his Hyena Men to be pretty odd, the Nollywood series seems to me to be powerful in a good way. The hyena pictures look like a studied echo of images of white people with their pets (themselves loaded with signifiers of tradition, class and breeding). Inviting comparison (even subconsciously) and that weird, distanced recognition of otherness. In the Nollywood images it’s the western artifacts that seem like junk, like detritus from a little pantomime or school play. The Darth Vader mask, the strange sci-fi makeup next to the woman’s stylized traditional garb. The kid in the European military dress and the zombie with an AK both seem resonant in a way that’s quite sly. Anyway, thats my take on it. I lived in Africa for 9 years and worked there as a photojournalist, but I don’t think that makes me more qualified to talk about it. Nollywood- Pieter HugoThursday, October 8th, 2009 Check out Pieter Hugo’s fantastic “Nollywood” series- of the Nigerian film industry… Helmut StallaertsWednesday, September 9th, 2009 I’m guessing that Helmut Stallaerts is a fan of Haruki Murakami. Or If he hasn’t read “Dance Dance Dance” or “A Wild Sheep Chase”, then clearly he’s been possessed by the spirit of the Sheep Man. These images seem like depictions of the strange figure that appears in both books. Besides, the title of these images is “Es Spukt”, which I think translates as “Haunted” and the Sheep Man is a ghost. Anyway, here’s the beginning of Dance Dance Dance, for those of you who haven’t read it, or had forgotten the brilliant opening para; I often dream about the Dolphin Hotel. In these dreams, I’m there, implicated in some kind of ongoing circumstance. All indications are that I belong to this dream continuity. The Dolphin Hotel is distorted, much too narrow. It seems more like a long, covered bridge. A bridge stretching endlessly through time. And there I am, in the middle of it. Someone else is there too, crying. The hotel envelops me. I can feel its pulse, its heat. In dreams, I am part of the hotel.
