This master's course redefines the role of the photography and examines CGI, AI-generated images, screenshots and in-game photography.

Contemporary forms of digital image capture, circulation and consumption have been redefining the role of photography as an expanded and exciting field of visual culture in constant mutation. From AI-generated images and computer-generated imagery to screenshotting. From CGI to Photoshop, from VR to in-game photography, practices of image-making and modes of experiencing visual art have created a vast and rich territory, explored by contemporary artists, photographers, curators, researchers, technologists and designers.

The Master in Algorithmic and Networked Photography offers an uncompromising investigation into the world of chronically digital images and terminally online visual culture. Through a series of lectures and workshops from some of the most relevant and inspiring actors in the field, this one-year master's programme combines a sharply curated scholarly foundation with an intensely practical education.

Creative, conceptual and critical, the programme provides a theoretical and practical knowledge of post-photography, AI images, networked images, machine vision and synthetic imaging. It invites participants to reflect upon the social, political and economic implications of different technological imaging systems.

Simultaneously, the programme encourages students to experiment and create with hardware and software, as well as appropriating and misusing media platforms through artistic and alternative forms of image-making.
