Abstract
The photographic negative has been arguably more significant than the invention of moveable type in informing the world’s cultures and societies and influencing their world view(s). The presence of recognisable visual representations of our world, and the affirmation of those worlds through multiple identical copies of those images, has at once broadened humanity’s knowledge base, and restricted our understanding.
