T&P#17: Becoming Image

What does it mean to inhabit a computational world-turned-image? When photographs no longer capture but composite, when renders replace recordings, when machine vision dictates what is permitted, and when synthetic media generates realities untethered from any physical referent โ€“ how do we understand vision, identity, and presence?

For the 17th edition of tactics&practice, Aksioma's discursive programme exploring contemporary investigative art, society, and new technologies, Becoming Image examines the transformation of recent digital images from representational surfaces into operational environments. The programme investigates how computational photography, machine vision, CGI, and generative AI have fundamentally altered the ontological status of the image โ€“ no longer a window onto the world, but a world unto itself.
