There was a very nice video by Marques Brownlee last year on the moon picture. Everyone was like, ‘Is it fake? Is it not fake?’ There was a debate around what constitutes a real picture. And actually, there is no such thing as a real picture. As soon as you have sensors to capture something, you reproduce [what you’re seeing], and it doesn’t mean anything. There is no real picture. You can try to define a real picture by saying, ‘I took that picture’, but if you used AI to optimize the zoom, the autofocus, the scene – is it real? Or is it all filters? There is no real picture, full stop.

PhotoAcute software processes sets of photographs taken in continuous mode. It utilizes superresolution algorithms to convert a sequence of images into a single high-resolution and low-noise picture, that could only be taken with much better camera.

"Although it is the result of extensive travels and research in five cities (...) it could just as easily pass as the pictorial record of a dérive through a single, imaginary city: a city without a center, populated by extraordinary and at times implausible architectural artefacts; an urban laboratory"

"“American History Reinvented” is primarily an arrangement, a reconstruction, of historical events, or, more accurately, a reconstruction of historical situations that we imagine as we do simply because they were handed down to us in a particular way in such testimonies as photographs, or through museum-like installations like the village reconstructions in which Neidich has photographed."

Firmware enhancement for Canon Powershot cameras - that runs from the memory card (thus harmless for the actual firmware)... adds RAW, scripts, etc

y'a quelque chose de parfois merveilleusement incongru dans ces photos :D
