One of our most influential commentators on photography
investigates the future of visual media as the digital revolution
transforms images, changing the way we conceptualize the world.
From photos of news events taken on cell phones to the widespread
use of image surveillance, digital media has fundamentally altered
the way we receive visual information. Simultaneously, the
increased manipulation of photographs has made photography suspect
as reliable documentation, raising questions about its role in
recounting personal and public histories. In a world beset by
critical problems and ambiguous boundaries, Ritchin argues that it
is time to begin energetically exploring possibilities created by
technological innovations, and to use them to better understand our
rapidly changing world.
