Why Photography?
Henie Onstad Kunstsenter has been groundbreaking for almost 50 years in presenting new and experimental art, and is a historical place for photography in Norway.Edited by MELK together with Susanne Østby Sæther (HOK) Why Photography? highlights and go into depth on the current generation of photographers and functions as a reference publication for the years to come.They ask artists to state, with words and images, how they see and relate to photography as a technical apparatus, and why they have chosen photography as well as the potential future of the medium. Rather than being a classic scholarly publication, the goal is to release a visual manifesto that outlines many and varied viewpoi...
The Perception Machine
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 techni...
New Scandinavian Photography
New Scandinavian Photography profiles a strong generation of young artists whose photographic practice has shifted in the last decade from a focus on documentary photography towards a discourse within fine art.
La máquina de percepción
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 in...
Ocean Beach
A topographic study of a 1940s New Jersey beach resort with a focus on color, form, and space
Mabou
These colored Polaroids are the photographs Robert Frank is making now. Frank is best known for his seminal book, The Americans, which features 83 photographs selected from more than 28,000 taken on his legendary road trip across the United States. His Polaroids, however, are the antithesis of this sort of cumbersome editing process: Here, what you see is what you get. The title of these three small books in a slipcase--Mabou--simply reflects their content. These are images of the artist's life at his home in Mabou, on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada, where Frank has lived since 1971--sunlight falling across tools placed on a table, stacks of chopped wood, bookshelves, laughing guests, self-portraits.
Lotta Antonsson
Swedish artist Lotta Antonsson's recent work recalls her fascination with the late 1960s and '70s, in a style "where documentary and fiction blur in a merging of social and sexual revolutions" according to the essay by Patrik Andersson. From a process that utilizes techniques of collage and montage emerges a very personal way of looking at the ephemeral nature of things, whether printed matter (magazines, books) or natural objects (shells, minerals, driftwood). Antonsson's analogue cuts and repetitions seize upon the allegorical potential of image fragments, freeing fashion and erotic photography in an exploration into the gendered side of this clichéd history.

Julia Dault
Physical negotiations with material and a bold relationship to colour are central to Julia Dault's artistic practice. Informed by, but not adhering to, Minimalism, Dault's richly textured paintings and sculptures suggest fantastical tendencies in their manipulated materiality. Combining surprise and discovery, her paintings are multi-layered illusions that play with our sense of depth by both removing and re-applying paint onto different surfaces.
