Algorithm, Image, Art by @machine_agency
An essential and critical inquiry into how algorithmic media reshape visual culture—from ancient optics to generative AI.
Lee draws on art history and media archaeology to make sense of the aesthetics and epistemology of machine-generated images.

While it is going to be of great appeal for all the scholars within the fields of critical algorithm and platform studies, readers from diverse backgrounds interested in issues related to the use of technology can find the book easily accessible given the clarity of the theoretical framework and development, the poignancy of the discussed empirical cases and the overall lucidity of the argument construction."

"#X and #Meta once aspired to be go-to platforms for reliable real-time information. Each company has abandoned that goal in its own way."
“We’ve moved from #socialmedia to #algorithmicmedia,” Kreiss explains. “It’s not so much about what people are saying as it’s about entertainment, totally divorced from what’s happening right now.”
#socialmedia is dead
Long live to the #Fediverse
@alex Being on Mastodon is making me realize #Twitter is not #socialmedia but #algorithmicmedia. You see not what other people are interested in but what the algorithm wants you to see. Mastodon feels vastly more, well, social.
