Guest-edited by acclaimed artist duo Broomberg & Chanarin, Der Greif 12: Blame the Algorithm presents a provocative challenge to digital censorship, content moderation, and the ongoing commodification of visual culture. Built around an open call for photographs deemed "too private, too quiet, too violent, too political, too subversive, or too explicit" for mainstream social media, this issue compiles the work of eighty-five international artists into a striking dual layout that splits images into opposing "GOOD" and "BAD" sequences. Threaded throughout the publication are poignant excerpts from a four-hour interview with an anonymous former Facebook content moderator, forcing readers to confront the human and algorithmic mechanisms that dictate what we are allowed to see online.
