Le infinite vite delle fotografie: l’ecologia delle immagini di Joachim Schmid

Abstract

The turn from analogue to digital photography requires rethinking the heuristic potential of this medium: in the last century, it was produced countless photos and we lost the sense of them. What should we do with all these pictures? Joachim Schimd reflects on the abundance and proliferation of images and he works to give them a future in the age when digital technology changes our sense of what it means to take a picture. So we need an ecology of images which consists in the re-use of all the existing photos by an aesthetics of remix able to reorganize the sense of the images.
