Call for Papers: Autonomous Images. Posthuman Perception, Agency and Ecology in Intelligent Visual
This volume examines the governance, aesthetics, and ecologies of autonomous images by bringing together perspectives from media theory, philosophy, visual culture studies, game studies, artistic research, film theory, design, and critical AI ethics. Contributions investigate how autonomous image systems reshape cinematic practices through computational camerawork; how gaming environments establish operational image cultures; and how artistic and design strategies render visible the hidden agencies of machine perception. Furthermore, the book explores how autonomous visual infrastructures modulate planetary processes – from environmental sensing and multispectral observation to wildlife monitoring – thus situating image autonomy within the broader context of posthuman environmental entanglements.
