ArtsUndone 04: We are here... talking photography and the human condition with Ferney Manrique Aragon.

This week I have a conversation with photographer and artist Ferney Manrique Aragon.  Our conversation focuses mostly around photography, the embodiment of taking a photo and the fundamental difference between digital and analog photography.  It's a wide ranging and long conversation that addressed performance, abstractions, experimentation, Artificial Intelligence, and phenomenology.  We get deep.  

Ferney and I work together at a University in Wenzhou, China and you'll hear us talk a little bit about that as well, and what it's like to be a street photographer in China.  

We mention, briefly, the philosophers Roland Bathes and Henri Bergson, as well as Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty.  We also discuss the AI project that creates portraits of people who have never existed, which you can check out here:
