The main difference seems to be that, whereas photography still claims some sort of objectivity, digital imaging is an overtly fictional process. As a practice that is known to be capable of nothing but fabrication, digitization abandons even the rhetoric of truth that has been such an important part of photography\u2019s cultural success. If we want to call up more hopeful or positive uses of manipulated images, we must choose images in which manipulation is itself apparent, not just as a form of artistic reflexivity but to make a larger point about the truth value of photographs and illusionistic elements in the surface of (and even definition of) reality.<\/sup><\/span><\/em><\/span>\u00a0<\/sup><\/span><\/em><\/span> Due Dates Requirements<\/strong> You must name your .psd file by your last then first name, and you must label the exterior of your flash drive, failure to label your work with your name will result in a grade of zero.<\/p>\n Along with your flash drive, you must submit a maximum one page hard-copy print-out<\/strong> during lab to your TA with the following information:<\/p>\n “Access is the most precious of all privileges, and it is therefore strictly guarded, which in turn makes one wonder whether to be a successful plagiarist, one must also be a successful hacker.”<\/em><\/span> “Good artists borrow.
