We will further explore the question "What is photography?" in light of the medium's slippage across the realms of art and popular culture. Drawing on key contemporary philosophers, theorists, and practitioners, we will continue to consider how you might locate and interpret your own emerging research in relation to contemporary art practices.Film and Digital ArtThe Virtual Subject in Postmodern Culture Part 2: recent theories of the new digital sublime in postcinema and the new image technologies will be explored and certain critical, literary and experimental audiovisual traditions from modernism to present times will be traced.
