Pour Nicolas Nova, le développement des caméras qui se portent est plus massif qu’on ne le pense et révèlent la forte relation qu’il y a entre notre écosystème d’information et leur conception. Tags : internetactu2net internetactu fing #wearable ##corps&tic corps #quantifiedself (...)
• Photographs Are No Longer Things, They’re Experiences

Stephen Mayes: I think cellphone photography marks the transforming moment.
The transition from analog to digital photography was a pivot point, but it is a pivot that wasn’t fully recognized in that working with these large DSLR cameras we’ve been able to mimic [analog] photography as we know it.
The cellphone is a pretty pure implementation of the digital phenomenon.

Une page qui recense des grandes images, on cause en gigapixels là :p
Au passage on y apprend que la plus grande photographie réalisée est un sténopé de 34mx10m !

Bankruptcy and the “new” Polaroid Corporation - “Chapter 11” controversy
The original Polaroid Corporation filed for federal bankruptcy protection on October 11, 2001. The outcome was that within ten months, most of the business (including the “Polaroid” name itself[9] and non-bankrupt foreign subsidiaries) had been sold to Bank One’s One Equity Partners (OEP). OEP Imaging Corporation then changed its name to Polaroid Holding Company (PHC). However, this new company operates using the name of its bankrupt predecessor, Polaroid Corporation.
As part of the settlement, the original Polaroid Corporation changed its name to Primary PDC, Inc. Having sold its assets, it was now effectively nothing more than an administrative shell. Primary PDC received approximately 35 percent of the “new” Polaroid, which was to be distributed to its unsecured creditors (including bondholders). As of late 2006, Primary PDC remains in existence under Chapter 11 protection, but conducts no commercial business and has no employees.
Significant criticism surrounded this “takeover” because the process left executives of the company with large bonuses, while stockholders, as well as current and retired employees, were left with nothing.
