HTA – “You Press the Button, We Do the Rest”: Vernacular Photography and Memory in the Age of Algorithms

Jackson State University – Liberal Arts Room 166/266, Jackson, MS

Borrowing its title from one of Kodak’s early advertising slogans, this lecture explores how vernacular photography has responded to the immense technological changes in the ways images are made, distributed, and consumed. It also looks at how these changes impact the teaching of both photography and visual literacy.
