Background information
The publication is an extension of the interactive exhibition 'Phenotypes / Limited Forms', in which exhibition visitors are encouraged to actively get in touch with the work of Armin LINKE. You should choose your favorites from several hundred photographs, rearrange them, name them and print them out as a fanfold.
Content
The publication, 'Phenotypes/Limited Forms' by Armin LINKE analyzes the around 30,000 image sequences selected by the public. The focus is on the relationship between the photographs, how often they are selected individually and how the newly arranged sequences are titled. A detailed demonstration of the applied algorithms helps to understand these relationships. The text contributions by curators and art scholars discuss the topic on a theoretical level and deal with the aspects of participation and emancipation as well as the question of the autonomy of images.
