Three Ages of Iconoclasm: Actions, Procedures and Screens Against Images

Given the structural diagnosis that we define as screen-centric, that is, a scopic system characterized by the ubiquity of screens in our daily lives, iconoclasm emerges as a possible critical action.

In dialogue with a variety of contributions from different disciplines, this paper seeks to account for the contradiction we face when thinking about iconoclasm against digital images. On the one hand, today, images, due to their excess and overabundance, become self-canceling: the contemporary visual system works in an iconoclastic way insofar as it generates a hypervisuality that becomes unconsumable for any human being.

To this end, we periodize iconoclasm by transposing what José Luis Brea called three eras of the image.

Ante el diagnóstico estructural que definimos como pantallacéntrico, esto es, un régimen escópico caracterizado por la ubicuidad de las pantallas en nuestra vida cotidiana, surge la iconoclasia como acción crítica posible. Pero en diálogo con una variedad de aportes provenientes de distintas disciplinas, este trabajo busca dar cuenta de la contradicción a la que nos enfrentamos al pensar la iconoclasia frente a las imágenes digitales. Por un lado, en la actualidad, las imágenes, por excesivas y superabundantes, se vuelven sobre sí mismas autocancelándose: el sistema visual contemporáneo funciona de modo iconoclasta en la medida en que genera una hipervisualidad que se vuelve inconsumible para cualquier ser humano. Por otro lado, trazamos dentro de este mismo régimen saturado de pantallas las coordenadas para recuperar los potenciales críticos alojados en los movimientos históricos de la iconoclasia. Para ello, periodizamos la iconoclasia extrapolando lo que José Luis Brea (2010) denominó tres eras de la imagen. Conceptualizamos entonces las tres eras de la iconoclasia: como gestos de destrucción de las imágenes-materia; como procedimientos de montaje en las imágenes film; y como sistema tecnológico en las e-image.
