| dc.description.abstract | In this paper I will be exploring my own personal analog photographic practice,
through the use of contemporary aesthetic theory. The goal of this is to achieve a
greater understanding of the presence of analog photography in a contemporary
context, and increase my consciousness of my own practice. I will first define the
concept of analog, and the aspects of it. Then by exploring the aesthetic theory of
Dissensus, I will find its relation to the analog process in its conflict with the
contemporary social media culture. Further the aesthetic category of interesting will
give a understanding of the weakness related to aesthetic judgement, and the
weakness of analog, and how they both can become strengths. Finally I will then be
applying this to a practice based research method, and create a “interesting
dissensus” method that gives names and concepts to various aspects of my own
practice, and can be further used by others. | |
