In-Depth Information
All these images depict the same subject—a figure—but using different modes. The modes range
between literal and stylized, and each mode intrinsically mediates the image to varying degrees.
The “pure” photograph is the least mediated in this study. The two drawn images are inherently
more mediated than the photographic image—the designer has invented his or her own depiction
of the subject—but between the two, the naturalistic drawing is less mediated than the other.
THE CHOICE OF IMAGE used for one of several wall panels in a French cultural center—Guignol,
a puppet character from a child's story—is symbolic of French culture. Its historical stature is
altered through mediation: representing the image in a digital pixel pattern that makes it contem-
porary.
