Sažetak
Concerns of contemporary environmentalism tie closely to the logic of biological reproduction, framed at one side by an anxiety about the failure of some species to reproduce without human assistance, at other being concerned for overpopulating the planet with other ones. Since the 19th century, photography serves to store the indexical version of phenotypes, i.e., a realisation of genetic capacity in observable visual appearances. Or, more precisely, photographs indexed phenotype or the visual appearance of the genotype. Since the 1960s, computation algorithms have enhanced us to see beyond phenotype and computing many possibilities that staid beyond the field of vision. However, only recently, we are witnessing the appearance of the first photographs that, although they seem to index biological phenotype, actually do not record it. This material rather than genes is computed from photographs. This chapter introduces a concept of phototype along with genotype and phenotype, defining the field of photogenetics to approach new life-alike forms.
