Emerging technologies have had a significant impact on
photographic representations, as well as on the production,
distribution and reception of photographic images. Technologies
such as 360-degree photography have expanded the photographic
frame and have provided the stage for VR and AR applications.
Drones and satellite images have contributed to new visualizations
of experiences, understandings and documentations of spaces.
Machine-made images such as synthetic images, GANs, and Deep Fakes
have entered our visual landscape and have complicated our
relationship with reality. As a result of these developments,
relevant issues of ethics, agency and power, have equally become
more urgent than ever.<br>
<p>The conference aims to address questions relevant to the ways
in which emerging technologies, such as 360 photography,
artificial intelligence, machine-made images, augmented reality,
satellites, drones, etc. influence photographic practices and
potentially expand contemporary visualities. Can such
technologies “expand” or “limit” the photographic vision and
frame? And if so, what are the socio-political, aesthetic, and
ethical implications of the use of such technologies in relation
to photographic practices? How do emerging technologies impact
on our relationship with photographic images, and on the medium
of photography in general? <br>
<br>
We are looking for papers with a critical perspective that
address, but are not limited to, the following topics:<br>
</p>

landscape/geography<br>
