Answer to Question 1

Responses will vary depending on personal observations. Truth suggests the accurate depiction of reality. A still life, a portrait, or a scene is a direct recording of what the camera sees, a split second of the present moment. Photography can record what was seen as history unfolded and preserve a visual record of what existed if it is not manipulated.

Answer to Question 2

Photography, film, television, and video serve not only as art forms, but also as methods by which information can be documented and recorded in a visual format. These media can be reproduced and distributed to the public, locally and globally. The computer, as a tool, has expanded the possibilities of these older art forms. With the development of the Internet, the computer became a gateway to a new kind of public space, global in scope and potentially accessible to everyone. Examples will vary depending on selection of references.
