ICONEMIA
Understanding the Ecology of Images.
A research initiative exploring how images shape attention, knowledge, memory, and culture in the age of generative AI.
Manifesto
We are entering the age of image saturation.
ICONEMIA names a condition in which images are no longer merely produced, viewed, or shared.
They circulate as environments, interfaces, memories, signals, and predictive surfaces. In the age of generative AI, images are increasingly created by systems, interpreted by systems, and fed back into culture at an industrial scale.
