In this episode of The Future of Photography, we delve into the impactful Polaroid Artist Support Program and its substantial influence on photography and art. Notable figures like Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, and many others benefitted from this program, using Polaroid's instant film and cameras to create iconic pieces. We examine how a virtually unlimited supply of resources can dramatically shift creative boundaries, significantly affecting aspects like cost, learning, creativity, and business models.
