With the end of analogue photography, the fate of the negative material is sealed as storage of image information, the place of the visual perception is mediated digital information entered. They will remove the knowledge of the nature of the photosensitive substrate, which had as a primary medium of recording over 150 years associated with the essential photography.
It therefore seems at the time, critically reflect on from a distance with the related phenomenon of the negative and of its interest in photography to question its meaning and benefits. At the cabinet exhibition The Creation of Beauty. Frank Eugene and the technique of art photography (3.12.2012.-24.02.2013) organized in cooperation with the German Museum of History and Archives section of the DGPh a conference that will discuss some key aspects of the negative. The contributions to the conference are focused on the genesis of the medium and its "finish" in the course of history. Use and importance of the negative into art, science and film production are as much for discussion as well as his epistemic potential within the media theory.
This is an Interdisciplinary Conference of the Deutsches Museum in cooperation with the German Society for Photography (DGPh)
