Moritz Neumüller In Summer 2011, the visitors of the Rencontres d'Arles Photography Festival, in Arles, France, had a lot to discuss. Clément Chéroux, Joan Fontcuberta, Erik Kessels, Martin Parr, and Joachim Schmid presented a ground-breaking exhibition called From Here On, with a Joint Manifesto that began:NOW, WE'RE A SPECIES OF EDITORS. WE ALL RECYCLE, CLIP AND CUT, REMIX AND UPLOAD. WE CAN MAKE IMAGES DO ANYTHING. ALL WE NEED IS AN EYE, A BRAIN, A CAMERA, A PHONE, A LAPTOP, A SCANNER, A POINT OF VIEW.(Gergel 2012 [capitalized in the original])The exhibit included the work of 36 international artists whose work consists mainly of appropriated popular imagery from the Internet, using vernacular sources from social media, search engines, archives, surveillance technologies, Google Street View, cameras operated by animals, webcams, and hacked laptop cameras. I gave these latter categories the name Unmanned Photography (Neumüller 2013).We have become accustomed to the camera eyes in the sky, above all, in the shape of spy satellites rotating around our planet in their thousands since the 1960s. Long before that, however, the pioneers of rocket photography, like Amédée Denisse, Alfredobel and an engineer from Dresden called Alfred Maul, recognized the potential of the photographs taken “from a great height.” The rocket device with built-in plate cameras and parachute could provide images from a height of up to 600 meters. another curiosity dating from that era is pigeon photography, developed by the apothecary and amateur photographer Julius Neubronner, and making it possible to take up to twelve photographs per flight. What is more, the winged photographers were quiet and inconspicuous, and thus perfect spies, especially in war-time.
