The Medium Always Survives Its Own Funeral

About this episode

Chelsea and Georgia explore whether photography is truly surviving or transforming in the digital age.

The companion podcast to Issue No. 76 of The Intersect. Photography has survived painting, color, digital, and smartphones — so Chelsea and Georgia ask the harder question: is it actually surviving, or is it quietly becoming something else entirely, something that no longer needs to defend its claim to truth? Read the newsletter for the full curation; listen here for the conversation that won't let the question rest.
