Recensione Carlo Riggi. Rarefaction
2019
The excessive stereotypical attractiveness and the unreal perfection that the photographs manifest today, especially through social networks, as well as their huge amount, brought it Sicilian psychoanalyst Carlo Riggi to research and communicate with his photographs a way to alienate yourself from an iconic, uncanny invasion
Ero ja immersio. Tutkimus artefaktin ongelmasta ja aineellisen ja käsitteellisen välisistä suhteista
2021
Tutkimus on kulttuurifilosofinen ja kulttuurintutkimuksellinen väitöskirja aineellisen artefaktin ongelmasta ja filosofinen tutkimus aineellisen mieltämisen ehdoista. Ihmistekoisen statuksen uudelleen arvioinnin pohjalta kehitän siinä uuden tavan ajatella aineellista ja ruumiillista. Historiallisesti suhteellisen nuoreen artefaktin käsitteeseen on tullut materiaalisuuksien kasvun myötä sen painon sivuuttavaa itsestäänselvyyttä, kuten tapahtui ikivanhalle olemisen käsitteelle Martin Heideggerin käänteentekevän huomion mukaan. Käsitteen neutraloituminen onkin siitä välittymättömän aineellisuuden neutraloitumista, mitä kutsun konstituutioharhaksi. Konstituutioharha on modernissa vallitseva tap…
Interpretation of journalistic photographs as an instrument of visual literacy education
2016
Images are produced, used and distributed on an enormous scale. However, the skills of understanding, interpreting and using images as well as thinking and learning in terms of images are taken for granted, and thus, they are not sufficiently taught and developed, especially in higher education. The need for introducing visual literacy into the curriculum was identified in late 1960s, but no concrete guidelines have followed. This study proposes to apply interpretation of journalistic photographs as an instrument of visual literacy education. The main focus is on the image interpretation process and the kinds of meanings viewers apply to a photograph in the interpretation process. In each o…

USA on the road: da The Americans di Robert Frank ad American Surfaces di Stephen Shore
2018
Robert Frank’s and Stephen Shore’s photographic reportages and their travels document an identity of the United States different from the conventional representations that usually show a successful country, able to enforce its social, economic, political, and aesthetics models. These reportages represent an other America, far from the stereotypes and full of contradictions: the places of common experience (almost non-places), the characters disillusioned and frustrated by the American dream, the banality of the situations represented, the commonplace, show that besides a winner’s imagery (like, recently, the one represented by Trump but also by Pete Souza, official photographer of Barack Ob…
SNAPSHOT SPECTRAL AND COLOR IMAGING USING A REGULAR DIGITAL CAMERA WITH A MONOCHROMATIC IMAGE SENSOR
2017
Spectral imaging (SI) refers to the acquisition of the three-dimensional (3D) spectral cube of spatial and spectral data of a source object at a limited number of wavelengths in a given wavelength range. Snapshot spectral imaging (SSI) refers to the instantaneous acquisition (in a single shot) of the spectral cube, a process suitable for fast changing objects. Known SSI devices exhibit large total track length (TTL), weight and production costs and relatively low optical throughput. We present a simple SSI camera based on a regular digital camera with (i) an added diffusing and dispersing phase-only static optical element at the entrance pupil (diffuser) and (ii) tailored compressed sensing…
Serial Production, Serial Photography, and the Writing of History in Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance.
2010
Three Farmers on their Way to a Dance, titre d’une photographie qu’August Sander prit en 1914, hante le roman éponyme de Richard Powers. Cette photographie faisait partie d’un projet plus vaste, intitulé « Hommes du vingtième siècle » par Sander qui entendait dresser un inventaire des habitants de sa province natale, le Westerwald. Sander composa ainsi un catalogue de plus de 600 photos d’Allemands de tous types, dont il fit plus tard paraître une partie sous le nom de Visage de notre temps. Dans le roman de Richard Powers, le motif de la série se déploie entre les pôles incarnés par Henry Ford et August Sander, dont les séries de voitures et de photographies deviennent la métaphore du mode…
Le infinite vite delle fotografie: l’ecologia delle immagini di Joachim Schmid
2015
The turn from analogue to digital photography requires rethinking the heuristic potential of this medium: in the last century, it was produced countless photos and we lost the sense of them. What should we do with all these pictures? Joachim Schimd reflects on the abundance and proliferation of images and he works to give them a future in the age when digital technology changes our sense of what it means to take a picture. So we need an ecology of images which consists in the re-use of all the existing photos by an aesthetics of remix able to reorganize the sense of the images.
Colita en contexto: fotografía y feminismo durante la transición española.
2018
El trabajo que desarrolló la fotógrafa catalana Colita (Barcelona, 1940) durante la década de los setenta fue aliado del movimiento feminista que se recompuso en el Estado español tras la muerte de Franco. En este artculo estudiaremos sus práctcas fotográfcas al respecto, aquellas que visibilizaron las demandas más importantes del feminismo español del momento: su trabajo para la revista <em>Vindicación feminista</em> (1976- 1979 y el fotolibro <em>Antfémina</em> (Editora Nacional, 1977), que hizo en colaboración con María Aurèlia Capmany. En segundo lugar atenderemos a la fotografa erótca que también desarrolló Colita durante estos años, una producción más problemát…
Paul Strand y las paradojas de la modernidad americana
2010
As contribuições de Strand para o cinema estão estreitamente relacionadas com seus trabalhos fotográficos da época e mesmo com um olhar que, apesar de suas múltiplas diferenças, possui muitos pontos em comum. Se em Manhatta (1920), Strand (em colaboração com Sheeler) oferece uma síntese da natureza e da modernidade, em Redes (1934) o que predomina, em contrapartida, é a experiência da arte muralista mexicana e a influência de Eisenstein (em suas andanças por México) são os fatores que determinam seus esforços na construção de uma épica dos operários. Mas sem dúvida, o projeto mais ambicioso de Strand (ao mando da produtora Frontier Films) foi Native Land, o filme que atendeu às demandas do …
