Description: Today photography is a dominating visual culture and is a powerful force in our society. The photographic medium is undergoing a incredibly fast technological development and at the same time we have new, expansive social systems of communication at our disposal. In light of these technological developments, the anthology "Thinking Photography, Photography Using" presents new theories of the photographic medium and analyzes how we use and consume photography in the 2000s. 'Thinking Photography, Using Photography' offers an insightful and wide range of voices in the latest research on photography.
Notes: "This book ... developed out of the symposium Photography Today, Tomorrow, that was held at Moderna museet in Stockholm on the 27-28 March 2010 and organised as part of the project Platform Photography"--Page 9.
