Photography's Role in the Age of Continuous Information
Since photography lost its monopoly as the primary mass document and sole reference in the image world, it has been forced to adapt its practices and societal role. Following bans on photographing monuments and landscapes, the increasing privatization of public space now targets the right to photograph individuals involved in criminal cases. The rise of new technologies has brought systematic image management, challenging photography's very place in society.
