Human beings have always made images, and to do so they have
developed and refined an enormous range of artistic tools and
materials. With the development of digital technology, the ways of
making images - whether they are still or moving, 2D or 3D - have
evolved at an unprecedented rate. At every stage of image making,
artists now face a choice between using analog and using digital
tools. Yet a digital image need not look digital; and likewise, a
hand-made image or traditional photograph need not look analog. If
we do not see the artist's choice between the analog and the
digital, what difference can this choice make for our appreciation
of images in the digital age? Image in the Making answers this
question by accounting for the fundamental distinction between the
analog and the digital; by explicating the technological
realization of this distinction in image-making practice; and by
exploring the creative possibilities that are distinctive of the
digital. Katherine Thomson-Jones makes the case for a new kind of
appreciation in the digital age. In appreciating the images
involved in every digital art form - from digital video
installation to net art to digital cinema - there is a basic truth
that we cannot ignore: The nature and technology of the digital
expands both what an image can be as an image and what an image can
be for us as human beings.
