- Biography/History:
- Olga Moskatova (Dr. phil.) is an assistant professor for media studies at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Her fields of research include theory and aesthetics of visual media, materiality of media, and networked images.
- Summary:
- In contemporary society, digital images have become increasingly mobile. They are networked, shared on social media, and circulated across small and portable screens. Accordingly, the discourses of spreadability and circulation have come to supersede the focus on production, indexicality, and manipulability, which had dominated early conceptions of digital photography and film. However, the mobility of images is neither technologically nor conceptually limited to the realm of the digital. The edited volume re-examines the historical, aesthetical, and theoretical relevance of image mobility. The contributors provide a materialist account of images on the move – ranging from wired photography to postcards to streaming media.
