The Photographers’ Gallery and Goethe-Institut London invite proposals for two micro-commissions from artists or collectives based in the UK or Germany.

This free open call marks the beginning of a new collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery and Goethe-Institut London. Together, they seek to explore the cultural, societal, emotional, and aesthetic implications of creating art for — and with — machines. The resulting research and artworks will be presented on Unthinking Photography, The Photographers’ Gallery’s online resource that explores photography’s increasingly automated, networked life.

Through this open call and future discussions, workshops and opportunities, they hope to make visible and interrogate where this next generation of photography is situated, what form it takes and how its symbolism, data and networks reconfigure the visible worlds being built around us.

The opportunity is open to artists and collectives engaged in photography and visual practices. Each selected proposal will receive a fee of €1,500.

They are particularly interested in proposals that consider:
• How cultural practices shift within computational environments
• How feedback loops shape artistic production
• The implications of making work for machine viewers
