{"product_id":"photographing-ambiguity-ted-hiebert-9781487525675","title":"Photographing Ambiguity","description":"\u003cem\u003ePhotographing Ambiguity\u003c\/em\u003e examines photography as a metaphor for technological culture, arguing that a relational exploration of the medium can shed light on the dominant ideological tendencies of our time. The book advocates for photographic practices that emphasize ambiguity, suggesting that this approach fosters more conscientious, ecological, and creative relationships within the technological ecosystem of contemporary life. \u003cbr\u003eTed Hiebert critiques the notion that images should primarily serve to verify or document the external world. He contends that these quantifiable perspectives, while rooted in historical trends towards technology and data, have become so pervasive that they represent a dominant ideological bias in the twenty-first century. In response to this data-driven consciousness, the book presents a series of exercises designed to cultivate an embodied experience with digital living - not in opposition to the flood of images but within it. Ultimately, \u003cem\u003ePhotographing Ambiguity\u003c\/em\u003e encourages readers to understand photographs not as benchmarks of reality but as ambiguous constructions of our present and future imaginaries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Hiebert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487525672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487525675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Ted Hiebert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640876257535,"sku":"9781487525675","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61305293-39f0-44cc-902c-f6f9fefed80b.jpg?v=1740670737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/photographing-ambiguity-ted-hiebert-9781487525675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
