Expert’s meeting. 19 March 2011, Foam Museum, Amsterdam
‘This year Foam Amsterdam celebrates its 10th anniversary. For us it is a time to reflect, not about the past, but about the future of photography. In short, ‘What’s Next?’ is about the future of a medium and of a society in transition. During the course of 2011 a series of activities involving a variety of experts will address the question, ‘What’s Next?’. Leading figures from artistic, technological and sociological fields are all asked to think with us and formulate an idea, a dream or a vision about what they believe the future holds. Based upon their specific knowledge, each expert will be asked to make a short, but inspiring statement on ‘What’s Next?’.’
