Digital photography: mediation, memory and visual communication

该项目旨在解决摄影图像的制作、发行、观看和储存方面的重大变化所产生的社会影响，这些变化深刻地改变了摄影图像的日常使用。通过采用跨学科的、以用户为中心的方法来处理数字网络摄影，该项目将提供一个更全面的理解，即照片如何在当下介导交流、社会性和记忆。 预期成果包括生成原始经验数据，建立国际合作，并为评估当代摄影实践创建新的概念框架。这项研究将通过深入了解影响当今摄影的社会和伦理紧张局势来为社区带来好处。

This project aims to address the social impact of major shifts in the production, distribution, viewing and storage of photographic images which have profoundly altered their everyday use. By adopting an interdisciplinary, user-centred approach to digitally networked photography, the project will provide a more holistic understanding of how photographs mediate communication, sociality and memory in the present. Expected outcomes include generating original empirical data, building international collaboration, and creating a new conceptual framework for assessing contemporary photographic practices. The research will provide community benefit by enabling insight into the social and ethical tensions affecting photography in the present.
