Entry 18

• Presentation 4: Circulation & Authorship of the Photo-image:
Richard Hamilton, Michael Wolf, Julian Stallabrass & Analog to
digital: the Indexical Function of Photographic Images



In this presentation, it was debated into who owns the authorship of an image. Now days, we can see that a lot of artists use other artist’s work to create their own. So the question is, who is the author of the image that has been reused?

From what it was said, it’s okay if an artist take another artist work but use it in his own way transforming it into something new, something with different meaning of the prototype. In this case the author is the artist that used the image of the first artist.

When a work is created and given to the public, then the artist who produced it is only the creator but no longer the author. The author now is the public who can choose to do whatever they feel like with the work and there is not a whole lot the creator can do about it.


Circulation is when a certain photograph has been really successful and has thus been spread amongst a large number of people.

Here are some of the most circulated photo images in the last half decade or so-





1) This fascinatingly bizarre photograph garnered an even weirder amount of online attention, where it was featured in several conspiracy-oriented websites that claimed it was evidence of government manipulation of the weather.


2) The Nullarbor Cliffs literally feel like the end of the earth, though they are really just the end of Australia.


3) Dragon Falls, Venezuela




Some Glitch and databending I have done in Class




I did databending i.e converting the image to mp3 file and that file is enclosed in the pendrive as it can't be uploaded here.
