Summary

This publication functions as an extension of the interactive installation Phenotypes/Limited Forms, which encouraged visitors to make a personal selection out of a total of several hundred images by the photographer Armin Linke. In a form of poetic transfer, the visitors arranged the images and named their sequences. Yet, while myriad combinations are possible, the created sequence reveal limited and specific permutations. Virtually every form is possible, but the forces at play limit them to a set of possibilities, to a particular choice of formal expression. The book takes up this aspect and analyzes the nearly 30,000 sequences selected by the public using algorithmic technologies. It offers insights into mechanisms that occur at every instance while moving in our digital present and asks how algorithms are constructed and influence our way of interacting with images.
