Ailbhe Ní Bhriain in Afterimage: Photography in the Digital Age

Afterimage: Photography in the Digital Age brings together a selection of cutting-edge work by Irish and international artists exploring the material and conceptual transformations that have profoundly altered our sense of what a photograph is and can be.

Digital technology has transformed how we encounter and understand photography. From the ubiquity of smartphone cameras and image-sharing apps to the reality-bending potential of Al, the ways in which a photographic image can be made and manipulated have increased exponentially.


The exhibition focuses on the creative possibilities of new technology and its application to photography as part of challenging hybrid practices that embrace a range of visual media. In a culture saturated with images and information, never offline, data has become a potent aesthetic resource for artists to draw on. From Ailbhe Ní Bhriain's haunting archival interventions, to the screen- based mediation of Linn Phyllis Seeger's personal narratives, and Michael Schäfer's large-scale digital montages, the works in Afterimage chart the multiple, diverse ways a photographic image can now exist.
