Conference Description:

Founded in 2010, The Image Research Network is brought together around a shared interest in the nature and function of image-making and images. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Fifteenth International Conference on The Image calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

2024 Special Focus—Images and Imaginaries from Artificial Intelligence
Theme 1: The Form of the Image
Theme 2: Image Work
Theme 3: The Image in Society
