Description
The ghosts of an analogue past are coming to haunt our digital present. In "Photoworks", Farhad Ahrania explores the tensions between nostalgia and new technologies, examining how forms of nostalgia shape various areas of cultural production. From art photography to mobile phone apps, museums to social networking sites, this issue delves into a wide range of practices that are grappling with the legacy of an analogue world. As we navigate the digital present, Ahrania considers what it means for our understanding of history, memory and nostalgia in the age of new technologies. This collection of essays offers a thought-provoking examination of the complex relationships between past, present and future in the digital era.
