Summary:
A graceful, contemplative volume, Camera Lucida was first published in 1979. Commenting on artists such as Avedon, Clifford, Mapplethorpe, and Nadar, Roland Barthes presents photography as being outside the codes of language or culture, acting on the body as much as on the mind, and rendering death and loss more acutely than any other medium.

Summary:
In Snapshot Photography, Catherine Zuromskis examines the development of a form of visual expression that is both public and private. Scholars of art and culture tend to discount snapshot photography; it is too ubiquitous, too unremarkable, too personal. Zuromskis argues for its significance.

Scholars of art and culture tend to discount snapshot photography; it is too ubiquitous, too unremarkable, too personal. Zuromskis argues for its significance. Snapshot photographers, she contends, are not so much creating spontaneous records of their lives as they are participating in a prescriptive cultural ritual. A snapshot is not only a record of interpersonal intimacy but also a means of linking private symbols of domestic harmony to public ideas of social conformity.

Summary:
The Human Snapshot draws upon a conference of the same name organized by the LUMA Foundation and Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College. The look toward art and photography stems from theorist Ariella Azoulay’s research on the seminal exhibition “The Family of Man,” first installed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955, which she frames as a lens through which to view universalism at play. These values have been under conceptual assault in recent years, yet they continue to proliferate—even through the visual arts, where humanism and universalism are customarily dismissed. The Human Snapshot takes these themes and wrestles with their application in the use of photography, the exhibition format, contemporary democracy, human rights discourse, and the power of the image at large.

Summary:
Bien plus qu’un catalogue d’exposition, cet ouvrage de référence abondamment illustré présente les œuvres des vingt-cinq expositions de l’événement, et comprend des essais rédigés par des experts en art contemporain et en technologie. L’appareil photo n’est pas seulement un outil en attente d’être saisi et utilisé, mais aussi un instrument sophistiqué possédant ses propres lois, son propre fonctionnement, voire sa propre vie. Grâce à l’automatisation de ses mécanismes – et, plus récemment, l’intégration de l’ordinateur –, l’appareil photo est désormais capable d’intention et d’action. Il peut voir ce qui est invisible à l’oeil nu, fonctionner sans relâche, atteindre des endroits inaccessibles ou dangereux, et il peut aussi bien pénétrer le corps que voyager dans l’espace. On a longtemps considéré l’image comme étant l’aspect le plus important du processus photographique. Cependant, les artistes et les auteurs de Drone : l’image automatisée présentent une tout autre conception. Au centre de leurs préoccupations se trouve la relation en pleine mutation entre le corps et l’appareil photo, et la manière dont celui-ci peut opérer avec un minimum d’intervention. Tandis que l’humain s’appuie de plus en plus sur la technologie pour prolonger sa vision, l’appareil photo devient une extension du corps. De la télévision en circuit fermé à Google Street View, des contrôles à distance aux robots, des photomatons aux drones, l’appareil photo est en voie de redéfinir les conditions de l’existence humaine.
