Historiography Tracer explores how media images and their meanings fluctuate in the ecology of the world wide web. Mixing theoretical enquiry with speculative code, our aim is to plot possible methods for tracking appropriations, memes and mutations of images online. The project connects the ethical with the technical in order to understand the social implications of images becoming data. In September 2005, the project was launched with an intensive three-day lab in Oostende. Participants made presentations and mapped out potential key areas of research. This site is a continuation of that initial process. It is a repository for documentation, interviews, essays and code, that looks at what happens when media images are set adrift on the net. * De Geuzen would like to thank Cargo and the Flemish Audiovisual Funds for their generous support of the initial phase of this project.
