PHOTOMEDIATIONS MACHINE
http://www.photomediationsmachine.net

We are pleased to announce the launch of Photomediations Machine: a 
curated online space where the dynamic relations of mediation as 
performed in photography and other media can be encountered, experienced 
and engaged.

Photomediations Machine adopts a process-based approach to image making 
by tracing the technological, biological, cultural, social and political 
flows of mediation that produce photographic objects. Showcasing 
theoretical and practical work at the intersections of art and 
mainstream practices, Photomediations Machine is both an archive of 
mediations past and a site of production of media 
as-we-do-not-know-them-yet. Photomediations Machine is non-commercial, 
non-profit and fully open access.

Curated by Joanna Zylinska and Ting Ting Cheng, Photomediations Machine 
has an International Advisory Board which includes Katherine Behar, Lisa 
Cartwright, Alberto López Cuenca, Asbjørn Grønstad, Richard Grusin, 
Sarah Kember, Max Liljefors, Melissa Miles, Nicholas Mirzoeff, W.J.T. 
Mitchell, Luiza Nader, Nina Sellars, Jonathan Shaw, Katrina Sluis, 
Marquard Smith, Hito Steyerl and Bernadette Wegenstein. It is a sister 
project to the online open access journal Culture Machine 
(http://www.culturemachine.net), established in 1999.
