Publication, 2015
In Deliberate Operations No.3 [Full Empty] , the EIC continues its mission to explore the contemporary image as both record and road map with 160 pages of new photographs, digital images, appropriations, and assemblage.
Deliberate Operations No.3 [Full Empty] begins with a cut-up essay that combines an original text by the EIC with fragments of the cult classic sci-fi novel Roadside Picnic. The premise of that novel, a society faced with the presence of powerful and often misunderstood technology, sets the tone for a series of works that approach the contemporary image landscape as a Zone of unexplained phenomena and a source of dubious economies.
DELIBERATE OPERATIONS is a serial publication of experimental photography produced by the EIC. Conceived as a kind of field manual or sketchbook, DELIBERATE OPERATIONS is a material record of the interactions between the concepts, materials, and images that make up the environment in which the EIC operates. Each issue involves a set of loose themes proposed by the members of the collective, but the true subject is the unexpected interaction that occurs between our visual responses to these themes. DELIBERATE OPERATIONS can be viewed as a temporary crystallization of these interactions, a map of the new topologies created by this synthesis.
