PHOTOMEDIATIONS MACHINE
http://www.photomediationsmachine.net
Photomediations Machine: a curated online space where the dynamic
relations of mediation as performed in photography and other media can
be encountered, experienced and engaged.
Photomediations Machine adopts a process-based approach to image making
by tracing the technological, biological, cultural, social and political
flows of mediation that produce photographic objects. Showcasing
theoretical and practical work at the intersections of art and
mainstream practices, Photomediations Machine is both an archive of
mediations past and a site of production of media
as-we-do-not-know-them-yet. Photomediations Machine is non-commercial,
non-profit and fully open access.
Curated by Joanna Zylinska and Ting Ting Cheng, Photomediations Machine
has an International Advisory Board which includes Katherine Behar, Lisa
Cartwright, Alberto López Cuenca, Asbjørn Grønstad, Richard Grusin,
Sarah Kember, Max Liljefors, Melissa Miles, Nicholas Mirzoeff, W.J.T.
Mitchell, Luiza Nader, Nina Sellars, Jonathan Shaw, Katrina Sluis,
Marquard Smith, Hito Steyerl and Bernadette Wegenstein. It is a sister
project to the online open access journal Culture Machine
(http://www.culturemachine.net), established in 1999.
