Departing from a close reading of French artist Julien Maire's installation "Memory Cone" (2009), the paper discusses four distinct types of technical conditions which determine mediated images: physiological, physical, electronic, and algorithmic. It references art historical examples to argue that such technical conditions have always been fundamental to images, and suggests the interdependency between these medial layers.https://www.ingentaconnect.com/contentone/intellect/ajdp/2017/00000004/00000001/art00009artimage theorymaterialitymedia specificitytechnology
