Improvisation as Technology
Aaron Turner, Dionne Lee, Raymond Thompson Jr., Hernease Davis
Thursday, March 21 - 2:30PM to 4:00PM
Majestic B
Photography's identity has been linked to technology since its inception. Through scientific experimentations, accidental chemical reactions, chips, and sensors, the photographic process continues to embody society's need to know and see itself. The dominant perception of photography as an invented medium runs linearly: early processes as historical, digital iterations as advancement. This panel looks to bend that hierarchical reading and assert analog processes, rooted in the physical, instinctual, and responsive, as a constantly evolving and contemporary strategy. Hernease Davis, Dionne Lee, Raymond Thompson, and Aaron Turner use improvisational analog practices that deepen understandings of time, landscape, permanence, personhood, and history.
