Mark forwarded an email to me from someone working on a thesis project built around digital photography at Stanford. Hmm. So I'm shouting out to you Andrew of Palo Alto. I hope you don't mind the quoting I'm about to do.
>I want to go beyond the LCD picture frame, to see what more can be done.
A noble pursuit. Given the ease of capturing digital images, both still and moving, we should be able to provide new presentations of that media that will add value to the traditional experiences rather than replace them. New modes of viewership and authorship are challening spaces to explore when dealing with "old media", particularly because the culture built up around them is difficult to change. When working in a "new media" space, the set of expectations are looser and thus exploration/experimentation has less resistance.
>One example is an idea of linking different media to each other
A very V. Bush concept, making associative mental links into coded soft links. I'm more interested in my own work in preserving more metadata during image capture and then finding links within the patterns inside the media. I want to explore the relationships inside the images, seen and unseen, of the work of one author and between many authors.
I hope we can discuss this in greater depth in the future.
