Photography became "heightened" Realism. Unlike painting it was no longer as much of the human hand creating actual imagery as it was an impression created from the physical world itself. Of course it became much more subjective once the negative was made and brought into the darkroom. As digital imaging has come into play with Realism, the nature of photography itself has changed. |
The Photoelectrograph is a lot like the painting. Rather than a reactive chemical process as halide crystals are to light, a sensor in camera interprets light and assigns specific data accordingly. The crucial difference is that the process is no longer human. While the painter decides by freewill what colors, values, tones, to assign to area of the canvas, a digital camera will assign them based on its internal program. Its human information comes secondary. |
