ENDORSEMENTS
“Has a book ever been as timely as this one? Fluent in both theoretical and technological discourse, Digital Photography After AI puts the latest debates about image-making into a cogent historical context in a quest to identify what has irrevocably changed about the practice of photography, and what has not.”
—Geoffrey Batchen, author of Negative/Positive: A History of Photography
“A major contribution to the debate over the status of photography today. With her command of both history and theory, Wasielewski argues convincingly that generative AI does not spell the end of photography but instead suggests a redefinition of the photographic image itself.”
—Jay David Bolter, author of The Digital Plenitude: The Decline of Elite Culture and the Rise of New Media
“Situating synthetic imagery inphotography’s longer history, Wasielewski brilliantly demonstrates that the questions AI raises about authorship, authenticity, and appropriation are not new but newly urgent— an important theoretical milestone that will inspire discussions for years to come.”
—Roland Meyer, Bridge Professor for Digital Cultures and Arts, University of Zurich and Zurich University of the Arts
