My
theme
•The overarching theme is the
impact and role of technology in image making. This relates to the way that analogue
versus digital
methods of production have generated a debate over the importance of ‘aura’,
what makes an original original and
the place of reproduction in image making.
My
methodology and rationale (why I am doing it this way)
•I am exploring this theme through comparing analogue and digital ways of
image making; specifically how there are cross overs between
the two forms of image production which challenge:
•whether the two methods are indeed
separate,
•how the two methods are
suitable
for
different purposes,
•how reproduction has been influenced by
digitisation
and
•a discussion of aura and originality.
•I have drawn strongly on the ideas
of
key
theorists
I have researched to guide what I chose to represent and how I chose
to experiment. This provided a frame work for creating the images
and analyzing
them, captured as a critical journey through my journal,
supplemented by my blog reflections and brought together in the three essays.
•The imagery in my journal portrays analogue
artefacts
and digital
technologies
with reference to the theme and have tried to visually represent the impact of digital
technology on
image making, specifically in relation to analogue methods, over time.
My
selection of materials
•I feel that the materials I use are almost
secondary and
that they are there to convey the ideas rather
than being part of the research, almost a modernist approach
where “form follows function”. This is apart
from when they are used to show the pros
and cons of analogue or digital and even challenge the processes.
