Images Do Not Represent Us, They Create Us: The Image and its Transforming Power

Images accompany us in our lives. And increasingly, images are the dominant facade with which we present ourselves to the world in digital environments. We have all learned how to create an image of ourselves in the world from digital tools. But do these "images" represent us? Can we control the "images" we generate? How do these "images" control and transform us? 

At the Fourteenth International Conference on The Image, we will consider the power of the image from different points of view: from the artistic, social, and cultural, to attempt to find meaning in how images that we project into digital and non-digital spaces, particularly in an age of digital transformations and data economies, transform us as individuals as well as as a society.
