Modulation: The Parameter-Image proposes a new way of understanding images—not as fixed representations, but as dynamic fields of variation shaped by adjustable parameters such as brightness, scale, or signal. Tracing this logic from Renaissance techniques to contemporary AI, the book shows how images function as processes rather than static objects. Drawing on philosophy, media archaeology, and art history, it introduces the concept of the “parameter-image,” redefining images through their potential for transformation.
