Following on from two previous issues of /Transbordeur/—no 3 “Câble, 
copie code. Photographie et technologies de l’information” (2019) and no 
7 “Images composites” (2023)—this issue aims to situate the phenomenon 
of algorithmic images within a history of technical images and an 
archaeology of visual and photographic media. For example, it will trace 
the history of deep learning algorithms applied to images, and the 
datasets used to train them. It will also involve situating the criteria 
adopted to invent and deploy these technologies in a historical 
perspective. In order to understand the historical depth of a phenomenon 
that we all too often tend to confine to our immediate present, the 
years 1980-1990 will be particularly examined, given that the advances 
we are seeing before our eyes are the consequences of successful 
experiments or failures experienced at the time of the first, vast 
development of software technologies and the internet.
