Congratulations. Doctoral student Louise Richardson, paper in forthcoming EJP
Congratulations to doctoral student Louise Richardson. Her paper 'Seeing Empty Space' is to be published in the European Journal of Philosophy.
This two-day, 10-speaker workshop will address the question of photography as an artistic medium, by examining comparisons between traditional and digital photography.
The workshop aims to increase philosophical understanding of relevant technologies and artistic practices by including photographic artists working with digital technology alongside leading philosophers working in the aesthetics of photography.
Details of the venue, programme and registration are available from the workshop webpage.
Advance copies of the Workshop Papers are now available to registered participants.
The American Society for Aesthetics Annual Meeting 2008 will feature a panel on the theme of Photography as a Medium (post-digitalisation), organised by Diarmuid Costello.
