A new philosophy of photography that goes beyond humanist concepts to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent, as both subject and agent.
Today, in the age of CCTV, drones, medical body scans, and satellite images, photography is increasingly decoupled from human agency and human vision. In Nonhuman Photography, Joanna Zylinska offers a new philosophy of photography, going beyond the human-centric view to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent. Zylinska argues further that even those images produced by humans, whether artists or amateurs, entail a nonhuman, mechanical element—that is, they involve the execution of technical and cultural algorithms that shape our image-making devices as well as our viewing practices. At the same time, she notes, photography is increasingly mobilized to document the precariousness of the human habitat and tasked with helping us imagine a better tomorrow. With its conjoined human-nonhuman agency and vision, Zylinska claims, photography functions as both a form of control and a life-shaping force.
Zylinska explores the potential of photography for developing new modes of seeing and imagining, and presents images from her own photographic project, Active Perceptual Systems. She also examines the challenges posed by digitization to established notions of art, culture, and the media. In connecting biological extinction and technical obsolescence, and discussing the parallels between photography and fossilization, she proposes to understand photography as a light-induced process of fossilization across media and across time scales.

A provocative investigation of the future of photography and human perception in the age of AI.We are constantly photographing and being photographed while feeding machine learning databases with our data, which in turn is used to generate new images. Analyzing the transformation of photography by computation—and the transformation of human perception by algorithmically driven images, from CGI to AI—The Perception Machine investigates what it means for us to live surrounded by image flows and machine eyes. In an astute and engaging argument, Joanna Zylinska brings together media theory and neuroscience in a Vilém Flusser–Paul Virilio remix. Her “perception machine” names a technical universe of images and their infrastructures. But it also refers to a sociopolitical condition resulting from today’s automation of vision, imaging—and imagination.Written by a theorist-practitioner, the book incorporates Zylinska’s own art projects, some of which have been co-created with AI. The photographs, collages, films, and installations available as part of the book (and its companion website) provide a different mode of thinking about our technological futures, at a local as well as a planetary level. Offering provocative concepts such as eco-eco-punk, AUTO-FOTO-KINO, planetary micro-vision, loser images, and sensography, the book outlines an existential philosophy of messy media for a time when our practices of imaging and self-imaging are being radically redesigned. Importantly, it also offers a new vision of our future. - Häftad, Engelska, 2024

Imaginary Neighbors offers a unique and significant contribution to the contemporary debate concerning Holocaust memory by exploring the most important current political topic in Poland: Jewish-Polish relations during and after World War II. Drawing on the controversy and attention generated by Jan Gross's landmark book Neighbors, whose description of the brutal Jedwabne massacre reignited the debate over Polish-Jewish relations during the war, this timely volume presents a rich and nuanced examination of the manner in which past and present relations between Poles and Jews are understood in Poland and in the Polish and Jewish diasporas. Rather than revisiting historical details of Jedwabne, this innovative collection uses an interdisciplinary approach to understand the reverberations of the events—and the scholarship that has evolved around them—within the context of the Polish national community. Combining scholarly essays with literary and journalistic accounts, Imaginary Neighbors demonstrates that the Holocaust memory in Poland, together with the memory of Polish Jews and Jewish culture, continues to be engaged in conflict. What emerges is a passionate conversation among cultural critics, philosophers, literary theorists, historians, theologians, and writers on the vexing issues of responsibility, forgiveness, reconciliation, and national and religious identity. - Häftad, Engelska, 2002

The Cyborg Experiments analyzes the challenges posed to corporeality by techology. Taking as their starting point the work of the highly influential performance artists Orlan and Stelarc, the essays in this timely and important collection raise a number of questions in relation to new conceptions of embodiment, identity and otherness in the age of new technologies: Has the body become obsolete? Does transgender challenge traditional ideas of agency? Have we always been cyborgs?In addition to highlighting the playful character of digital aesthetics, the contributors investigate ethical issues concerning the ownership of our bodies and the experiments we perform on them. In this way the book explores how humanism, and ideas of the human, have been placed under increasing scrutiny as a result of new developments in science, media and communications.Contributors:John Appleby, Rachel Armstrong, Fred Botting, Julie Clarke, Gary Hall, Chris Hables Gray, Meredith Jones, Orlan, Mark Poster, Jay Prosser, E.

Debugging the Anthropocene’s insistence on apocalyptic tropesWhere the Anthropocene has become linked to an apocalyptic narrative, and where this narrative carries a widespread escapist belief that salvation will come from a supernatural elsewhere, Joanna Zylinska has a different take. The End of Man rethinks the prophecy of the end of humans, interrogating the rise in populism around the world and offering an ethical vision of a “feminist counterapocalypse,” which challenges many of the masculinist and technicist solutions to our planetary crises. The book is accompanied by a short photo-film, Exit Man, which ultimately asks: If unbridled progress is no longer an option, what kinds of coexistences and collaborations do we create in its aftermath?Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship. - Häftad, Engelska, 2016

" Estamos constantemente fotografiando y siendo fotografiados, al tiempo que alimentamos bases de datos de aprendizaje automático con nuestros datos, que a su vez se utilizan para generar nuevas imágenes. Al analizar la transformación de la fotografía por el mundo digital –y la transformación de la percepción humana por las imágenes gestionadas por algoritmos, desde la CGI a la IA–, el presente libro investiga lo que significa para nosotros vivir rodeados de flujos de imágenes y ojos maquínicos. Con una inteligente y atractiva argumentación, Zylinska aúna la teoría de los medios y la neurociencia. Su «máquina de percepción» designa un universo técnico de imágenes y sus infraestructuras, pero también se refiere a la condición sociopolítica resultante de la automatización actual de la visión, la creación de imágenes y la imaginación.Incorpora asimismo proyectos artísticos de la propia Zylinska, algunos de los cuales han sido creados conjuntamente con la IA. Las fotografías, collages, películas e instalaciones que forman parte del libro ofrecen un modo diferente de pensar sobre nuestro futuro tecnológico, tanto a nivel local como global. De la mano de sugerentes conceptos como eco-eco-punk, AUTO-FOTO-KINO, imágenes perdedoras o sensografía, en sus páginas se esboza una filosofía existencial de unos medios caóticos para una época en la que nuestras prácticas en torno a la imagen y la autoimagen son objeto de un rediseño radical. Y lo que es más importante, también ofrece una nueva visión de nuestro futuro."- Häftad, Engelska, 2025

Boken undersöker "buggar" ur en dubbeltydig betydelse: dels som tekniska glitchar, dvs processer och estetik som bygger på visuella störningar, skapade av digital teknik, dels som insekter, med övergripande teman såsom svärmar, nätverk, symbios och rubbade ekosystem. Field Guide to Bugs & Metamorphosis: Glitching Photography utforskar fotografi genom att lyfta fram samspelet och brytpunkterna mellan människa, natur och maskin, utifrån dagens nätverksbaserade och maskinella teknologier.
The book explores "bugs" in two ways: as technical glitches, processes and aesthetics stemming from visual errors in digital technologies, and as insects, with themes like swarming, webbing, symbiosis, and extinction. Field Guide to Bugs & Metamorphosis: Glitching Photography provides critical insights into contemporary networked and machine-based photography. Using the locus of photography, the book and exhibition both examine how what might initially be perceived as an error can act as a creative and critical agent, simultaneously.

An investigation of the future of various media industries and technologies that considers how media shape our future.How do we combat post-truth in the news? Are social media influencers the journalists of today? What is it like to live in a smart city? Does AI really change "everything"? The Future of Media investigates the future of media industries and technologies (journalism, TV, film, photography, radio, publishing, social media), while exploring how media shape our future—on a political, economic, cultural and individual level. Issues of diversity, media reform, labour, activism and art take the discussion into a wider social context. Through this, the book celebrates the importance and vitality of media in the modern world. The Future of Media is also an experiment in collaborative modes of thinking and working. Co-authored by theorists and practitioners from one of the world’s most established media departments, it offers a radical, creative and critical take on media industries—and on world affairs.
