Photographic images constitute a fundamental part of our everyday visual experience, demanding an increasingly large share of our attention, from city walls to magazines at the news stand, from printed clothes to telephone displays. The dramatic changes brought by the new digital technologies, mostly in terms of time and costs of images reproduction, have been deeply influencing not only the ways in which photographic image is produced, but also the ways in which it circulates and it is managed, presented and archived.
In the most innovative institutions in our society, in the various fields of cultural and commercial production, performance, information management, and the exhibition industry, there is a growing demand for professionals who understand and know how to interpret such changes. Training such professionals is the main objective of this Master program, developed in collaboration with Fondazione FORMA per la Fotografia, with the aim of opening the field for research and experimentation within the mainframe of the new contemporary “society of images”, where reality seems to be irreversibly transforming itself into its own image.
The program therefore integrates theoretical study with laboratories and project workshops, in order to train professionals able to combine a solid historical and cultural base with highly developed technical and practical skills necessary for success in national and international markets.
