Re: Is Photography Over?

The questions must be separated. Some curators ask how to redefine what a photography is. To me the definition hasn't changed- lens-photosensitive capture.

The question of how the new uses of photography effect the culture and the community is a cultural-social question.

"A few years ago,  the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art held a conference about photography – for a photo conference, it had the odd title “Is Photography Over?.” Curators Sandra Phillips and Dominic Wilsdon posed the question as a challenge to panelists, audience members and the world at large. The two-day symposium was an attempt to shake up conventional institutionalized discourses about photography and to be an opportunity to think about what, if anything, has “changed” about photography over the last decade or so."
