The exponential growth of image production has created a condition in which images no longer depict, but organise. Marc Boumeester introduces mass-microimaging as a framework for understanding how images function as infrastructural agents: automated and recursive, embedded in the logics of the attention economy. Images operate by proxy, through algorithmic substitution and systemic validation, eroding perception and replacing memory and history with a perpetual present. This book addresses the epistemic, ethical, and political consequences of such automation. It argues that imaging is now the fastest-growing system of production, yet lacks any ethical accountability.
