ABSTRACT:
Every second, a tremendous number of images is being uploaded and viewed online. These images become ‘networked’ when users like, share, comment or tag them, and also when platforms and engines format, filter, feed and recommend them to others. Each platform and engine handles images in distinct ways, thereby revealing platform-specific technicities. Both the networkedness and technicity of online images call for an approach attuned to the medium.
