Curated by Marco De Mutiis, Digital Curator at the Fotomuseum Winterthur, and Matteo Bittanti, Associate Professor in Media Studies at IULM University in Milan, the exhibition is part of an ongoing transnational investigation into expanded photo-digital practices, The Photographer’s Guide to Los Santos presents seminal works by artists working at the intersection of post-photography, technology and art. Through meticulous in-game capture techniques and cunning manipulations of code, this cadre of international artists rupture the veneer of mimetic realism that shrouds Los Santos, opening fissures wherein the underlying algorithms and tacit ideological assumptions underpinning this contested space are exposed. At once playful and critical, the featured projects – several of which have never been presented before – challenge the stability of ontological categories such as the virtual, the real, and the hyperreal within an increasingly gamified culture.
