The Medium and Us

Camera Arts, State-of-the-Art Image Practices, Artistic Photography or Photographic Studies - the names of the courses in which photography is taught are as diverse as the medium itself. Through technical innovation, photography is constantly changing, almost inevitably producing new visual languages and modes of use. In "The Medium and Us: Photography in Progress" artists and teachers from North Rhine-Westphalia, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland question current digital image practices and artistic approaches with a view to the different approaches to photographic teaching, the specific use of photography and the reception of the medium.
