ABSTRACT

Can a still image be still any more, or is it always changing when it is on a network? Photography has produced some of the most important imagery of the last century but digital processes through hardware and software have changed what a photograph can be and how it can operate. This conversation addresses how networked images can be produced by multiple people, or agents, and can operate in multiple ways for different purposes. It also considers what it means to exhibit digital images in a gallery and how digital literacy is replacing visual literacy as an important way of understanding the world around us.
