TY - CHAP A1 - Gerling, Winfried T1 - Be a hero: self-shoots at the edge of the abyss T2 - Exploring the selfie N2 - A tendency has developed in recent times toward a close connection of the (photo) apparatus and the body. The GoPro, the “world’s most versatile camera,” as stated in the developer’s self-description, is often worn attached to the body, is held at a moderate distance from the body by means of a selfie stick, or is firmly mounted on helmets and sporting equipment. Regarding these cameras, a whole array of practices and technologies has evolved that strongly promote “self-shooting.” Thus, a new genre of the self-image has arisen: images of skaters, surfers, fliers, fallers, and the fallen, all capturing themselves in all circumstances up until death; it seems that the camera itself creates the risk to fall. This chapter focuses on the relationship of aesthetics, body, and apparatus that can be traced back to early examples of “falling photographers” and that is nowadays so impressively exemplified by the GoPro technique and its usage. Additionally, the text deals with the general leveling of the difference between the moving image (video) and the still image (photography) within the digital realm, specifically via the unification of both, technologies and practices, in one apparatus—like the GoPro.

This turn is viewed under the changing conditions in production and circulation of social media platforms and the technical unity of photo and video camera. Various photographic practices and aspects will be adressed: the accelerated and ubiquitous production of images (capture and processing), which is dialectically related to the aesthetics of the images, their mode of reception (displays), their distribution and storage (platforms) and the (photographic) apparatuses, with which they are produced. The increase in photographic production is accompanied by a shift away from the decisive and composed single image. The unified apparatus of photographic and video technology is bringing both media ever closer together, which in turn supports the tendency toward the mobile and mobilized image. The article shows how communication has become immediate with digital photographs, how mobile, spatial images, people and apparatuses are related to one another as well as how they create and influence powerful realities; this has always been one of the most fundamental issues of photography.

Im breiten Spektrum von Studienangeboten der Fachhochschule Potsdam finden sich drei recht unterschiedliche Studienrichtungen, die sich mit dem Bildmedium auseinandersetzen: ein Design-Studiengang, die Europäische Medienwissenschaft – in Kooperation mit der Universität Potsdam – und informationswissenschaftliche Studiengänge (Archiv, Bibliothek und Medien sowie Information und Dokumentation). Das diesbezügliche Lehrangebot für angehende Kommunikationsdesigner zielt in erster Linie auf die Entwicklung und Schulung eines Bildverständnisses. In der Europäischen Medienwissenschaft stellt reflektierte ästhetische Praxis, die sich u. a. auch in der Fotografie ausdrückt, einen Schwerpunkt der Ausbildung dar. Archivare, Bibliothekare und Dokumentare beschäftigt wiederum eher die Frage, wie Fotografien langfristig aufbewahrt, recherchierbar gemacht und effizient für die Nutzung bereitgestellt werden können.

Building on Allan Sekula’s notion of the instrumental image developed in light of aerial composite photographs taken during World War I, we propose to speak of instrumental data to describe operative platforms fusing data from satellites, social media, and local sensors and using them for divergent political ends, most notably the control of borders and the quality of water, air, and crops in Europe. Taking the EU-funded pilot project CALLISTO as a case study, we combine media-theoretical analysis, artistic research, and critical data visualization to address the nexus of visualization, decision making, and control effected by the ways in which the platform promises to make satellite data operable, ultimately fusing not just data but also the corresponding social fields of climate and migration.
