Trevor Paglen (2019) coins the notion of “invisible images” in order to define those images that inhabit this new ecosystem of vision machines in which images are produced by machines and for machines. In this new context, the traditional concepts that have defined our understanding of images become obsolete. This demands new concepts to think visual phenomena beyond the humanist domain of representation.  This article attempts a twofold task. First, it argues that Simondon’s “allagmatic” method (2015) offers a fruitful ground for a post-representational study of invisible images. Second, it shows that if we adopt the “allagmatic” viewpoint, we surpass the domain of the humanities in which the study of images has been traditionally framed (Panofsky, 1987). The final section suggests that this new approach is closer to the critical post-humanities (Braidotti, 2018) than to the digital humanities (Berry, 2012).  Gracias al avance de tecnologías algorítmicas ha sido posible desarrollar máquinas que automatizan la percepción visual. Trevor Paglen (2019) utiliza el término “imágenes invisibles” para definir estas máquinas de visión algorítmica y que son producidas por máquinas y para máquinas. En este contexto, las categorías tradicionales de las ciencias humanas para pensar la imagen quedan obsoletas, lo que demanda nuevos aparatos conceptuales que comprendan los fenómenos visuales más allá del marco humanista de la representación. Este artículo propone una doble operación. En primer lugar, sugiere que el método allagmático propuesto por Gilbert Simondon (2015) ofrece un marco original y fructífero para el estudio de las imágenes invisibles desde una perspectiva posrepresentacional. En segundo lugar, se quiere mostrar que, al asumir el punto de vista de la allagmática para analizar las imágenes invisibles, nos desligamos del ámbito humanista en el que tradicionalmente se ha enmarcado el estudio de las imágenes (Panofsky, 1987). La última sección examina a modo de conclusión en qué medida la allagmática posibilita un estudio de las imágenes invisibles más cercano a las “poshumanidades críticas” (Braidotti, 2018) que a las “humanidades digitales” (Berry, 2012).
