In this inaugural deep dive, we explore the launch of Eidos, a new quarterly journal and conceptual project designed to address the modern “crisis of perception.” As the gap between seeing and publishing shrinks to zero, Eidos invites us to “hit the pause button” and create a space for intentional reflection.
This episode unpacks the philosophical dual meaning of the word Eidos—bridging the physical craft of photography (“that which is seen”) with the synthetic power of AI (“the universal form”). Join us as we discuss how wet-plate photography and generative AI can sit at the same dinner table, helping us navigate a world saturated with images to see reality more clearly.
Key Topics:
- The collision of Analog Photography and Artificial Intelligence.
- The “Crisis of Perception” and the need for a quiet gap.
- The philosophical roots of Eidos (The Visage vs. The Form).
- The “Modern Dinner Party” concept: Uniting purists, futurists, and synthesizers.
