A LIFE MORE PHOTOGRAPHIC: Mapping the networked image
This 8,000-word, peer-reviewed article established the concept of the ‘networked image’ as foundational for the understanding of photographic culture online. Its original contribution is in providing new insights into the relationship between digital technologies, knowledge systems and photography focusing on the changes that networked imaging is bringing about in established paradigms of representation, aesthetics and reproduction.
The article led to the establishment of the journal ‘Philosophy of Photography’ with Rubinstein as founding editor, and supported a successful application to the AHRC for the study of the digital image online (Application of non-representational theories to the photographic image online, £32,000 , 2012, Rubinstein P.I.). Since its publication in 2008, the article has been consistently the most cited article published by the journal ‘Photographies’ (source: publisher’s website). It is required reading on a number of graduate and undergraduate courses.
