How
Digital Technology Killed the Photography Star!
6pm Thursday May 21
Dinner talk by Dr Kurt Brereton
Pine Rivers Art Gallery, Queensland
With the rise of digital cameras and editing, what’s
happening to the art of photography? New technologies have radically changed
our idea of what a photograph is and what a photographer does. Join Dr
Kurt Brereton as he discusses the changing nature of photography –
what it is today and what it may be in the future - and the impacts on
journalism, advertising and art. Dr Brereton is Adjunct Professor at the
University of Technology, Sydney and an educator in the fields of new
media, design, humanities and the visual arts.
