The Image Has No Right To Exist

Overview

Ever-present but unseen algorithms are described as the "ghosts" haunting our digital rights, freedom of speech, and privacy. Here, "The Image Has No Right To Exist" mirrors the effort to deconstruct language and resist algorithmic oppression. It explores the invisible forces shaping narratives, such as the Palestine-Israel conflict, and how they become "image events" dominated by algorithmic influence. At the same time, it raises questions about visibility and invisibility in the digital age. By reinterpreting hauntology in this context, the project confronts the spectral presence of algorithms and highlights their pervasive impact on digital rights.
