Presentation 5: Ubiquitous photography and WEB 3.0 services
Penelope Umbrico, Erica Scourti, Joachim Schmid & The Culture of
Connectivity, Dijck.
I had no clue as to what the word ubiquitous meant before this presentation. So I googled it. It means when something is omnipresent i.e present everywhere.
I definitely liked this presentation because it is a topic which is currently in vogue or rather is important in this generation which is so technology oriented.
So what is this all about/
Lets see-
From rise of digital photography
● Aspects of daily life
● Storage of all digital images
● “I have tried to explain Flickr in the wider
context of the culture of connectivity,
where platforms such as Twitter,
Facebook and YouTube are increasingly
penetrating the core of our daily routines
and cultural practices, such as catching up
with friends or watching videos.” Dijk, 2011
Flickr, currently the world’s largest photo sharing website.
Pictures become shared and collective perspectives, experiences and memories.
‘Collective Effort’ where users engage in relationships in communal experiences, resulting in ‘collective
memories’.
Hoskins’s argument that the idea of collective memory has become problematic in the age of digital
networks.
Until the 1990’s photo sharing was as different connective experience.
Penelope Umbrico
I found this to be the most interesting part of the presentation. Umbrico taking photos of sunsets around the world and creating this big photo.
Questions were raised over authenticity as these photographs were not hers.
I think she is not to be blamed. In today's world there are simply too many authors and even more works made by them and everything is openly available on the internet, so technically authors do not have any ownership.
What she did was highly creative and it definitely took a lot of effort to make it.
