Julian Stallabrass, Curator for the Brighton Photo Biennial and Reader in Art History at the Courtauld Institute was giving a talk on January the 15th at the Barbican Center in London on “how has the making and circulation of digital images of war affected the way that we see them and the way in which they are used” using comparative examples of Vietnam and Iraq war images.
While Israel declared an end to its three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip less then an hour ago, videos like this one help perpetuate the need for coverage in war situations. The repetition and accustomedness of the viewer as grown in parallel with the accessibility of the digital tools of production and diffusion, while video shows a balance of grassroots embedding with a potential for important outreach. It is in my view a form of response to the Israeli embargo on journalist in the beginning of this conflict.
Big respect…
