Aught Fraught @aughtfraught is an interview series podcast hosted by Matthew Porter about photography in the early 2000s (the aughts), an era that marked a high point in photography’s cultural visibility and market influence. For many practitioners and enthusiasts the auahts remain a notably fraught, energetic, and formative decade for the medium. Every month it seemed there was another panel, another essay, another exhibition or catalogue that sought to find meaning and hope in what was largely considered to be photography’s moment of
“crisis.”

Islands in the Net brings together a selection of Aught Fraught subjects, showcasing works that use myriad material strategies but focus on representation, particularly photography’s ability to frame ideas through various styles of depiction. The keystone work is Joshua Citarella’s large four panel banner, depicting a dystopian future, and showing the medium’s ability to merge image-generating software, digital appropriation, and lens-based. by @philchang_

Thank you @emilerubino

“Today, instead of looking for an arbitrary essence by focusing on one personality trait, photography is more capable of accepting its multiplicity, its codependency, its lack of purity, and its uncertainties about the future.”
