RE: holoz0r's Art Essays: The Introduction of Photography and the Transformation it imposed on the Art World

in #essay2 years ago

The ability of the photograph to capture time, and moments, which will never once again occur, ‘immortalizes’ them. This makes them immune to the passage of time, as a representation which will remain the same, despite the infinite reproducibility of the photographic image; it is what it represents which can never be reproduced.

I was musing this one the rest of the way through and both get it and don't get it and it feels both very profound and very obvious at the same time ^_^;

And then it goes on to imprisoning and damn XD

Nice use of playing around with the AI generated art too :)

Photographic theory can be some really brain numbing, mind bending stuff.I love it. :D
