Key Question: What else is self-contradictory in digital media?
After our discussion we were inspired by the idea: image is all up for the interpretation of a given viewer rather than bearing an intrinsic sense of it’s own. In other words, everyone projects their own interpretation onto images rather than having a set definition. All forms of image may be influential from a political and or social platform, leaving way for the observer to make their own kind of meaning. With the right signs and sensitive stimuli in place, our brain will try to link the story together.
The author talks about religion at the beginning of the text, but omits to point out that Eve is the first reproduction of God’s image that is Adam and that Adam’s first endeavour was to name all that he could see in the Garden of Eden, the flawless realm. More generally, Eve’s own birth and her task to reproduce is in fact the central mechanism of life: images are reproduced and their meaning takes a life of their own, evolving through hybridized iterations; in this way, an image thus loses its proximity to the ultimate truth (the “real”) one layer a the time. The process of human creation and manipulation of any medium follows a paradoxical pattern that can be observed in the meaning of the images themselves.
