| description | With technological advancement, commoditization and ubiquity of digital
cameras, excessive amounts of images are taken and uploaded onto the
Internet by the second. These digital traces, shared in the public domain, form
a huge database vulnerable to research and exploitation. This essay deals
with our dependence on this pertinent medium in contemporary living to
understand our position in the society. It is a study on a new language of
digital vernacular photography, made accessible and necessary by social
media. Tracing the history of appropriation, incorporating photography, film
and new media theory, we see how photography extends to performance,
sculpture and video. It also opens up discussions and observations about
public & private, the act of photography and photographic conventions. |
