fascination with analog (but not really analog)
this part of bishop's essay was particularly interesting to me because as she stated, there are apps that give off an analog feel without actually going through the analog process. one app that came to mind when she brought this up is the iPhone app called "Hipstamatic". Hipstamatic is a mock analog camera app where you purchase different "lenses" and "films" (even flashes) to create a nostalgic look and feel that is readily accessible through your cell phone. The app also has a feature where you can order prints of your photography and they range in all sizes/paper forms/ect... It is really interesting because it takes all the art out of the analog photography process, in the dark room you are able to make both accidental and deliberate art because of the way you manipulate your work, with this digitized way of making these images, all we are in control of is taking the picture, and adding more filters to it through other apps.
What I am trying to get at is, does this excessively easy way of "making art" actually count as "real art" when it isn't actually ~created~ by you?
