Читать книгу Visual Communication - Janis Teruggi Page - Страница 64

You are a creator, consumer, and distributor of visuals in today's world of instantaneous communication and sharing through social networks and digital devices. Your job as a consumer or creator of visuals has never been more challenging from an ethical standpoint. In the future, it will be even easier and cheaper to create and disseminate images, apps, videos, and remixes. Photography once had a more obvious referent to real life in that a photo of an event was relatively difficult to alter, filter, or otherwise manipulate. In the future, we will all be consuming and evaluating many images that are created primarily from people's imaginations and combinations of materials of all kinds. However, regardless of changing technologies, new and unexpected events, and even more instant and sophisticated sharing capabilities, we can still apply systematic ethical reasoning and consider our duties to ourselves and to others.
