Gute Aussichten - Young German Photography 2021
 Squares (2020)

Konstantin Weber Werk
© private

Using a variety of objects and various media, Konstantin Weber’s work SQUARES reflects on the significance of AI-supported image processing and computer vision for the work of photographers.

What implications does it have for the role and raison d’être of photography today if landscapes or product images can be generated with digital applications faster and often better than they can be photographed? If photographers view their images strictly as digital data, why should they be content creating prints for hanging on walls? Why not create new images, texts, moving pictures with them? Similarly, Weber’s work reflects the close relationship between new technologies and the medium of photography and how the constantly growing archive of digital images influences the way that artificial intelligence perceives the world. His “image research” gives manifold impulses for a new discussion about “post-photographic” photography and the profound overlapping of reality and simulation that already defines the practice of photography today.
