1. For An Ecology Of Images
A theoretical meditation that reconceives images not as static representations but as living, circulating agents embedded in networks of perception, technology and power; it argues for an “ecology” that tracks how images attract and redistribute attention, interact with viewers and other images, mutate through technical and institutional media, and produce collective effects and political consequences, drawing on examples from art, cinema, advertising and archives to show how attending to an image’s agency and environment reshapes our understanding of aesthetics, mediation and public life.
