Photography from the Turin Shroud to the Turing Machine by Yanai Toister

Photography from the Turin Shroud to the Turing Machine by Yanai Toister

This book compares two conceptual models for theorizing about photography: the Turin Shroud and the universal Turing machine. It explores new propositions about the theory of photography; the concept of quasi-photography; a unique model for photography as algorithmic art; and an interface between philosophies of photography and media.
