A talk by Bridget Crone at the Photographer's Gallery, 2nd March 2011.
This talk takes as its starting point the idea of 'image' as marked by the speed of its dissemination, its velocity and pervasive effects. An idea of 'image' not marked by representation or by its representative capacities.
Drawing on Brian Massumiʼs demonstration of 'affective modulation' in relation to the terror alert system in the US, Bridget Crone will look at the way in which the image can be a tool for affective control particular in the invocation (and modulation) of scales of fear.
