From photography’s first light to the glowing screen of a phone you hold within the palm of your hand, we’ve longed to capture and possess life’s invisible phenomena as well as its transient moments. This course explores the legacy of black and white experimental image-making processes using 35mm film and traditional darkroom techniques alongside their transformation within the context of new digital imaging technologies and social media platforms.
