Some musings on visual culture

The following 6 posts are my reflections about visual culture and new media. These articles comprise the end-project for my subject Culture and Media in the Institue for Interactive Media (IAM) in Amsterdam.

This is not an art review, rather an articulation of several concepts in new media as derived from my chosen images. Some of these concepts are:

• perspective
• virtual, hyper, photo and spectacular realism
• verisimilitude
• the relations and implications of technology, culture, media and visual literacy of today's society
