Abstract
A commissioned series of posts for Fotomuseum Winterthur's online platform for photography criticism 'Still Searching', edited by Dr Doris Gassert, Research Curator at the museum. Launched in 2012, Still Searching offers 'an intellectually challenging and interactive discussion on all aspects of the photographic'. It is conceived in the widest terms, debating (amongst other themes) photographic production, techniques, aesthetics, distribution and reception. It also addresses theoretical foundations, ontologies and historical contexts. Adopting the format of a blog, it commissions five authors per year who are critics, theorists, educators and photographic artists. Previous contributors include: Ariella Azoulay, Geoffrey Batchen, George Baker, Claire Bishop, Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Bernd Steigler, Trevor Paglen, T.J. Demos and Nicholas Mirzoeff. My contribution offers a novel overview of photographic curation as it becomes diffused and operationalised online, tracing the problem of the networked image represents to cultural institutions before offering an insight into the cultural value of the post-photographic image from a computational perspective.
