Stock Photography as Evolutionary Attractor

“The real advantage of thinking of image conventions as solutions to a dynamical system with tendencies and structure is to gain perspective and insight into the patterns of image culture. A perspective that can explain why artists including myself are often inspired by image conventions, not to wage war on reified generalities like “capitalism” or other forms of authority, but rather because image conventions are evidence of deeper primordial processes common to humanity and larger than the individual. A realization that the way things seem on the surface in the here and now are often generated by the long in the making. Image conventions are naturally occurring formations in the geology of images, formations that if inspected more closely, reveal the deep history of our past and the real lives that lived through it.”
