Abstract:
This panel will question the notion of a digital aesthetic. The debate will centre on the following:
1. Will digital photographers produce a new aesthetic? Is there an avant-garde in the digital arts?
2. Does the WWW provide a revolutionary ontology for art practice?
3. Is there a quest for greater verisimilitude in digital imagery?
4. What is the constructed reality of the digital image?
5. Is there a problem with the notion of a media specific aesthetic?
