对于我们中的许多人来说，虽然拍照、分享和浏览照片已经成了日常生活中的习惯，但我们与图像的频繁接触并未培养我们在视觉表达上的素养。 这个课程的目的在于通过介绍影响摄影作品的创意、手段与技术，讨论观看照片与真正理解照片之间距离的问题。 在这个课程里，你将近距离观看纽约现代艺术博物馆收藏的照片，聆听从不同角度对照片的解读，以及摄影在将近180年历史中被使用的方式：作为艺术表现的途径、作为科学和探索的工具、作为纪实文献的媒介、作为讲述故事和记录历史的手段，以及作为日益视觉化的文化中一种交流和批评的模式。 学习目标 训练技巧，以便更好地检视和理解照片与摄影图像之间的不同。 发现语境如何影响摄影图像的制作、传播和接收。 学习摄影中各种不同模式的艺术和技术试验和创新。 探讨摄影在日益视觉化的文化中所发挥的作用

與講師見面

I would like to start with a very beginning about your work in
the exhibition, Mood Disorder, and ask you perhaps to describe the work.
>> Mood Disorder is an artist book and it shows basically
what happens when I put a photograph of myself kind of like this.
And this kind of generic stock pose of what depression would look like.
And I put that onto the Wikipedia page for mood disorder.
I was kind of playing these stereotypes of how depression looks in stock imagery.
That's what influenced me to make that image.
Websites, journalists, bloggers
begin to use it because they could legally use these copyright free images.
They don't have to pay royalties.
And they began to use it to illustrate mental health issues, depression,
sadness, anti-depressant pill articles.
And then, what I did was I use Google reverse image,
where I took the image and did the reverse image search and
refound all of these articles that had used my image.
The Mood Disorder piece is the image in,
I don't like to say circulation because it's not really, it's more propagation.
So it's the image propagating over the internet, maybe changing the black and
white, changing color, getting cropped, going in to different languages,
Danish, Norwegian, German, Arabic, and Thai, I think I found.
And then using Google, I collected all of these sites and
then made this artist book.
>> So what does it mean for an artist to actually claim ownership for
something that is so widely distributed?
>> I mean, I think authorship, to author a work is to kind of delineate like
an artwork and say, this is an artwork
that I'm entering into a kind of public discourse on photography or an art making.
And it's just a way of defining an artwork.
For me, I don't really believe in maybe what
the author meant 100 years ago, the author as a sole creator.
because like I said,
lots of people were helping the production of this work that aren't getting credited.
>> How do you fell that photography has changed in the 21st century with this
further increase, both in the production but also circulation of images.
>> We're so complicated because photographers are everywhere.
People today almost use photography to almost perform themselves for the public.
So when people on Instagram, on Twitter, the images they make or
an extension of their sensibility that they're sharing with the world wide web.
It's like saying who they are, which I don't think photography.
I think that was the case before.
Like for me, I'm using Wikipedia and
that's specifically a copyright free website.
So, these are images that can freely circulate.
And so, in my project, I'm playing with that space of open circulation.
I'm actually participating with Wikipedia how a normal user would,
you upload images which I think is relevent, but
in this process, a lot of Wikipedia editors caught on to what I was doing and
over a course of a few years, there were these discussions,
conversations which ended up with me being officially banned.
And after that ban became official,
the Mood Disorder image was taken off of the Mood Disorder webpage.
And so, it no longer circulates from Wikipedia.
But it still will circulate from the Internet, hopefully, maybe.
