Digital Photography. Fotografisk Teknologi og teknologisk fotografi. (Photo-Graphy and Techno-Logy)

""After decades of epistemological debate on the limits to
photographic realism, computer-technology makes it possible to
produce a 'photographic' image with purely artificial means
(created with 'photographic realism' as its model)''. The author
addresses the issue of whether computer technology represents a
threat to the photographic profession, and asks what will happen
with the meaning of photographs in a culture where the
photograph's indexical relationship to an actual physical space
is no longer taken for granted. Special attention is paid to the
San Francisco Camerawork exhibition, Digital Photography.
