Re: [microsound] Re: Post-digital photography



That's sort of what I was thinking too.  The errors in digital
photography could be interesting but the "loaded-ness" (for lack of a
better word) of the other methods is not quite sharpened enough to
communicate well at this point IMHO.  It still somehow looks
distinctly digital to those unaware of the processes.

With the sound and music, people could say "hey that sounds like a
skipping cd, something's wrong, but it looks like they're calling that
the music itself?"  I don't know why our cultural vocabulary differs
on these two media, I haven't really thought that through yet, but
there did seem to be some apparent distinctions.

Not to be harsh, but to me it looks like overuse and exploitation of Photoshop filters, which makes it very digital.

However, I'm always interested in artists who use media in non-traditional ways. Cases in point,

I'm interested in the idea that the post-digital aesthetic that is
often
discussed with relation to music also exists in digital photography.
I.e.
there are approaches to digital photography that question its
techniques,
claims, technology, etc.

I have started a group
(http://www.flickr.com/groups/post-digitalphotography/), but as there
has
yet to be any discussion of the subject in the group, very probably
because
the members are unfamiliar with the idea of 'post-digital', I thought
I'd
enquire about it here.

If you go to
http://www.flickr.com/photos/josephscott80/sets/72157594180426039/ you
can
see examples of the kind of works I consider to be 'post-digital'.

Does anyone know of any photographers who consider their work to
display a
'post-digital' aesthetic? I'm not talking about 'glitch' photography
(although it is one approach), as that is more about what happens when
technology fails rather than approaching the technology in a different
way,
but photographs that view 'digital photography' as something new rather
than
a mere continuation of film photography, that question the ideology of
'digital photography', etc.

I hope everyone understands what I mean.
