In an era characterised by an overwhelming volume of images and the saturation of computational visual content, the fundamental question arises: What is the role of vernacular image-making in our visual culture both online and AFK (away from keyboard)? With the rise of internet-driven aesthetics such as \"corecore\" and the proliferation of AI-generated imagery, we, as users, face a challenge in discerning meaning and purpose through the huge amount of visual content. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This discussion explores how the flattening of culture influences the vernacular image and whether there is now a greater need for vernacular photography\u2014not merely as a tool for documentation, but as a means of preserving personal memory and emotion in moments already extensively recorded by others, while also examining the role of platforms in the shaping of these aesthetics.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
