The problems related to the material side of images include the extraction of raw materials, pollution, the ecological rupture of installing infrastructures and the energy used. None of these impacts are unique to image-making, the technologies and infrastructures often being multipurpose. As such - these material impacts of image-making impact every aspect of our contemporary lives and is involved in every debate around ecology, conservation and environmental crises.

Seven panellists will present art and/or research projects, unfolding the problematic at hand, before we discuss what the future looks like for image-making and how we can move forward with a more considerate, gentle approach to image production going forth. Audiences are encouraged to participate in the discussions, during and after the symposium.
