About the event
In this first chapter of our series we look at the image as something unstable: copied, appropriated, manipulated and endlessly recirculated across the web. Rather than belonging to a single author or context, images become shared material, accumulating new meanings as they move between users, platforms and formats. Starting from these earlier post-internet approaches to circulation and remix, each following event will gradually move closer to the present, tracing how our relationship with images has evolved alongside the internet—from the participatory cultures of the early web to today’s fragmented, accelerated and increasingly algorithmic visual landscape.

Artists
Oliver Laric is a Berlin-based artist whose practice explores image circulation, authorship, originality, and the fluid boundaries between physical and digital culture. Working across video, sculpture, and digital media, Laric examines how images are copied, transformed, and reinterpreted over time, challenging traditional notions of authenticity and ownership.
NEOZOON is a female artist collective founded in Berlin and Paris in 2009. Their film works are based on the principle of collage and explore sociological questions surrounding speciesism in the Anthropocene. The decontextualization and recontextualization of found footage and YouTube material are recurring elements of their artistic practice.
Nick Briz is an internationally recognized new-media artist, educator and organizer. His work investigates the promises and perils of living in an increasingly digital and networked world. He is an active participant in various online communities and conversations including glitch art, net art, remix culture, digital literacy, hacktivism and digital rights. He's an Assistant Instructional Professor in the Media Art and Design program at the University of Chicago. He also works as creative technologist and has produced award winning work from custom web applications to interactive installations for a wide range of clients.
