About the Magazine
This blog aims to be a continually growing and developing Internet discourse on the medium of photography that features a multitude of participants; it is conceived as an online debate on forms of photographic production, techniques, applications, distribution strategies, contexts, theoretical foundations, ontology and perspectives on the medium. It explores photography’s role as a seminal visual medium of our time—as art, as a communication and information tool in the context of social media or photojournalism, and as a form of scientific or legal evidence. This discourse will be conducted by theorists, critics, educators, enthusiasts, users and also photographers. Still Searching is moderated by the Fotomuseum Winterthur and located on its website.
Still Searching is aimed at anyone interested in photography and visual theory. This includes, but is not limited to, academics and professionals. There will be six bloggers per year. Each slot will last six weeks, during which the “blogger in residence” will write five to six statements on a specific theory or aspect of photography—or on anything else he or she is presently working on or thinking about. In order to guarantee a lively and highly interactive discourse on our blog, we will also feature two co-bloggers who will be responsible for generating and promoting online discussion, if necessary.
