Notes on Walsh

"It is the mechanical reproduction--the photograph--that created the aura of the original, much as it was the machine that created the 'handmade,' the negative that created the 'positive,' and the digital that gave retroactive birth to its latent opposite, the 'analog.'"

-Peter Walsh, "Rise and Fall of the Post-Photographic Museum: Technology and the Transformation of Art", p. 29
