The Society for Photographic Education Northwest Regional Conference
Nov. 3-6, 2011
at Spokane Falls Community College, Spokane, WA
The conference, titled Visual Evolution, will invite photographers, both SPE and non-members, from all over Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. Attendees will include professional imagemakers, instructors, students, hobbyists and collectors who are interested in relevant photographic trends, technologies, and education.
The conference will examine what many media theorists describe as a ‘21st Century Renaissance’ brought about by innovations in digital imaging and internet technology that are comparable to the impact of Gutenberg’s press.
The transformation from analog to digital and the convergence of still and motion photography into compact media technology constitutes a renegotiation of traditional ideas about photography and visual literacy that is emerging into questions about how photographers are addressing the impact of New Media.
