Simulakra, Persona, Artefakt : Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf algorithmische Bildlichkeit

Abstract

In an age where technologies and algorithms increasingly blur the boundaries between the real and the digital, and artificial intelligence shapes our audiovisual culture, it becomes essential to examine the nature and impact of algorithmic imagery. This volume brings together interdisciplinary contributions from media studies, visual culture, art and design theory, and philosophy to explore how algorithmic processes generate, organize, and circulate digital images. The essays combine foundational media-philosophical perspectives with case studies from XR, social media, and curatorial practices, as well as ethical and legal reflections. The result is a reference and debate-oriented volume that sharpens key concepts, provides orientation, and offers fresh impulses for research, teaching, and creative practice.
