Media images in the digital era are no longer static representations of reality; rather they are temporary constructions based on software and codes. Images are mixed, sampled, and interpreted technically. The significance of these images is dependent on the technical and cultural conditions under which they can be received, reproduced, and manipulated. The truth and the authenticity of images, which with photography had still been tied to the immediacy of the moment, can, in the digital flood of images, only be depicted as a tendency, as a pattern, as a possibility, which can be eradicated again at any moment by a more recent overwriting. Those who wish to report and publicise events have to learn to move with the image process. History is an interactive account of events; every image within it is a passing approximation.
