P3 - Post-Photography Prototyping Prize

The Post-Photography Prototyping Prize (P3) is a biennial prize that supports artists, creative technologists and researchers questioning the changing role of photographic media. Initiated in 2016 by Fotomuseum Winterthur in collaboration with the Julius Baer Foundation, P3 sets out to define the field of “post-photography” and to engage with photography’s shifting roles in contemporary culture.

In 2018, the second edition of the P3 will encourage interdisciplinarity and collaboration, bringing artists, technologists and researchers together to address specific issues that underlie the changes in contemporary photographic culture. Academics, visual artists and creative coders will join forces to reflect on social and technological transformations within current image production, distribution and consumption. Their joint explorations will result in a series of prototypes—sketches and drafts, unfinished works and proofs of concepts, visualizations and mockups.

The presentation of the prototypes and award ceremony will take place on May 15, 2018 at The Photographers’ Gallery in London.
