✦ 𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑁𝑜𝑡 𝑎𝑛 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒 ✦ essay by #NoraOMurchu for the 𝗔re 𝗬ou 𝗔 𝗦oftware 𝗨pdate? 📖

"...the image no longer represents power; it performs it. It operates as infrastructure: a system that governs what can be perceived, felt and known. Aesthetics, computation and administration converge in the same operation, regulating visibility and mood as forms of control."

Curator Nora O'Murchú opens #TacticsAndPractice 16: "Are You a Software Update?" at Kino Šiškain Ljubljana on 27 February 2024.

How she articulates the nature of the modern software industry and its entanglement with politics is right up my street. I hope to be able to find a way to work with her in future.
