Photographs have become an integral part of digital culture: We take pictures with the cameras of our cell phones, send them to others and display them on the internet. We like to frequently communicate by photographic means in social networks, comment on them and evaluate them. New practices of the production, use and arrangement of pictures that question traditional ideas of authorship, reception and truth have been established. This volume is the first book that systematically introduces the new technologies and cultural practices used to distribute images and make them effective.
