Execute Photography
PHOTO2024, RMIT Gallery, Melbourne Australia
Photography is constantly dying and being reborn. AI represents the latest stage of photography’s transformation into a software output, cannibalising the camera and even transforming it into a set of executable text prompts. If we now think of photography as a kind of ‘program’, and that images are operational, actionable and scrapable, what does this mean for the future of the medium? execute_photography is both an exploration and a provocation, featuring work by Australian and international artists speculating on the social and political ramifications of photography’s afterlives. Curated by Alison Bennett, Shane Hulbert, Daniel Palmer, Katrina Sluis
March 1 to May 4, 2024.
Artists - Memo Akten, Amrita Hepi, Rosa Menkman, Sara Oscar, J Rosenbaum, Sebastian Schmieg, Alan Warburton, Max Pinkers & Dries Depoorter.
