While Thomas Ruff, Andreas Gursky and Jörg Sasse have gradually adopted digital imaging tools in the early 1990s, other photographers from the Düsseldorf School have remained faithful to film-based technologies. By evaluating the aesthetic and discursive preconditions of this situation and by extensively analyzing the digital work of these three photographers, this book shows that the digital turn in photography was anticipated by the conceptualization of images within systems, and thus offers new perspectives for understanding the »digital revolution«.Image Photography; Art; Digital; Culture; Computer; Germany; Düsseldorf School; Thomas Ruff; Andreas Gursky; Jörg Sasse; Art History of the 21st Century; European Art; Visual Studies; Fine Arts;Andreas Gursky.Art History of the 21st Century.Art.Computer.Culture.Digital.Düsseldorf School.European Art.Fine Arts.Germany.Jörg Sasse.Thomas Ruff.Visual Studies.Photography; Art; Digital; Culture; Computer; Germany; Düsseldorf School; Thomas Ruff; Andreas Gursky; Jörg Sasse; Art History of the 21st Century; European Art; Visual Studies; Fine Arts;771Gunti Clausaut967944Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910404104903321Digital Image Systems2198280UNINA
