response to remediation

Spin and Spun by Dowski

  1. Does photography really make the artist obscure like the author says? Can photography and real art i.e. paintings, sculptures, etc. be compared with the likes of photography? Are they really trying to achieve the same results?
All artistic work strives to produce something, whether it be a replication of something that exists or a replication of a combination of existing thoughts and appearances in one's mind's eye. With that each attempts to tell some form of a story or description, depending upon which the artist wishes. They may hope to show a struggle of life or a drastic change in nearly any and all forms of life.

The photographer has the same purpose. Although the photographer may not rely on as much talent as the sculptor, painter, etc. they do intend to depict a story, event, or interpretation. Their medium is different and much less subjective, yet the photographer is still able to add subjective telling of what they see depending upon how they film what is they hope to.
