Photography is being reconfigured by algorithmic processes, machine vision, augmented reality and networked circulation including the social media we use and consume everyday. Photography has long had a close, if complicated relation to notions of ‘truth’, but the way we value the photographic image in the digital age is changing. How is visual truth being reshaped by new technologies of vision? Who controls access to our images? Academics, artists and curators will explore how the adoption of new technologies is shifting our sense of reality.

The panel includes Mark Andrejevic, Alison Bennett, Amalia Lindo and Katrina Sluis. It is chaired by Daniel Palmer, Associate Dean, Research and Innovation, RMIT School of Art.

PHOTO IDEAS: SIMULATION is preceded by a keynote by Australian artist Alison Bennett, exploring how these themes resonate in their work.
