Lectures
What is a photograph and how do we perceive it? This series of four lectures will explore the formal attributes of a photograph – how the world translated, transformed into a photograph. They will explore the formal tools of that transformation and how those tools implement and necessitate the imposition of structure. Finally, the lectures will describe the cognitive understanding of the image. This series begins with what a photograph is physically and formally and ends with how we ultimately receive the image.
