Here is the article I had mentioned the other week plus one other. The first is Luke Turner's "The Image Object Post-Photoshop" from the online forum Notes on Metamodernism. It is something of a response to the second essay, Artie Vierkant's "The Image Object Post-Internet".

The argument is an interesting one and pretty telling of the postmodern/metamodern split as a whole. On the one hand Vierkant argues for the legitimacy of a new media practice engaged with the (re)production of images ad infinitum, images that can be iterated in both physical and virtual realities. Turner disputes this by claiming that while such a practice is commendable for being open to collaborative labor, it's ultimately an apathetic and anachronistic gesture of postmodernity.
Hope you enjoy!
