Events unfold continuously, whether anyone is watching or not. The morning's images arrive before their meaning has settled.
Somewhere between observation and participation, the distinction begins to disappear.
For centuries, newspapers have mediated the world through text and image.
Today the image can arrive without being captured, selected or printed first.
It simply happens here.
The traditional newspaper photograph has a curious relationship with time. Something happened. Someone was there. A camera recorded it. An editor selected it. A printer reproduced it.
The live image removes several of these steps. There is no decisive moment. There is only now.
The camera observes continuously, but observation does not necessarily imply understanding.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about a live image is what it refuses to tell us.
Once the photograph becomes a stream, the boundary between representation and presence becomes rather difficult to locate.
