Some useful quotes:
1.Marshall McLuhan's describes the impact of new media with the phrase "the medium is the message.
2. Digital technology allows for greater ease in editing than analog photography, because it transforms photographs from objects into data. Thus, digital imaging technology, theoretically disrupts previous notions of the indexical connection between photographic images and '' reality''.
3. Viewers continue to read digital photographs as representative of reality, a function images maintain despite the transition from analog to digital.
4. In film-based photography, light bounces off an object and is recorded in the silver salts of the film's emulsion. This process depends on the presence of an object in front of the camera's lens in order to record its image through projected light.
5. In contrast to the physicality of the analog photographic process, digital images are translated into code.
6. On a theoretical level, digital photographs present a challenge to the indexicality of photographic media.
7. The benefits of the new technology, such as ease of editing and transmission, have resulted in the adoption of digital photography in practices previously completed with analog photographs such as in photojournalism, snapshot photography, and scientific imaging.
Some example of digital photography:
Photographic artists also use the idea of digital photographic images remediating analog photographs. McLuhan uses Skarbakka's photos as a example.
