Image Protocol – A Tool for the Philosophy of Art

An investigation into illustrations of philosophical texts conducted by artist Barbara Ellmerer and graphic designer Vera Kaspar, two artists who documented their enquiries with ‘image protocols’. These protocols, in turn, led to a re-evaluation the materials means used process artistic perception production. This remains structurally resistant verbalisation but relies on individual calibrations between given image materialities at artist’s disposal (colours, brushes, paper, also photography, scanning, printing).
