MS 159 SC - Foundations of Computational Photography


This class will study photographic technology from prehistoric times to 1976. Students will build photographic devices, reproduce chemistry, and make images following techniques ranging from archaeological optics, lensed cameras, all the way to the first digital sensor cameras. Activities include building camera obscuras, pinhole cameras, lensed cameras, and electronic light sensors. Students will use these devices to create projections, photograms, cyanotypes, and electronic images. We will pay special attention to the work required to create durable images and consider a range of ideas about the legibility and meaning of photography.
