Abstract / Summary

Whenever the photograph is shared it casts out a limb and clings to a new current of significance. While there may still be territories where its liberties are curtailed, there are many more where it thrives rampantly, and even threatens indigenous imagery. The goal is survival and it will shift, expand, transfigure, and even shed its glassy skin to keep it that way. As far as we know, there is no limit to what it can do, and we are way out of our depth if we think ourselves risk-free. If there is a so-called 'sea of images,' then we would do well to remember that there must also be a food-chain.
