Image Identity

Design and Social Movements
The production of images was deeply affected by Industrialization. Mass production introduced new characteristics to the ways in which we experience art, and how we interact with it. The Print, films, and photography facilitated the mass reproduction of images, allowing them to become a tool for everyday use to society. However, the influences of mass production not only served as a tool for easy distribution, but also as a mean to politically emerged influences and propaganda.
- What are some consequences of Mass Reproduction?
With the rise of modernization, emerging philosophers opened up questions of the influences of mass-produced imagery. As issues of ideology, identity and aura were highly discussed from the emergence of industrialism, Images began to take an effect on reflecting the politics and social conditions of the time. A revolution of aesthetic was set in discourse, slowly introducing itself into the radical changes through the means of mass reproduction.
The experience of images, specially in this globalized world, allows for a reconsideration for the development of what they mean to us. The process and development of images not only as a representational tool, has allowed for a development of a stance within society. Images are deeply embedded within our values and produce reactions to events and conditions that we experience on a daily basis
