With the digital revolution, the photographic paradigm of the image has become supplemented with an algorithmic paradigm. The result is a new kind of image capable to gather, compute, merge and display heterogeneous data in real time; no longer a solid representation of a solid world but a softimage-a program-mable database view. In today's neurosciences and machine vision, the very concept of "image" as a stable visual entity becomes questionable. As a result, the authors propose that the need exists to radically expand the definition of image and abandon its humanist and subjective frame: The posthuman image-which the authors propose to call the postimage-is a collaborative image created through the process of distributed vision involving humans, animals and machines
