The part in the Hansen reading about Flickeur and reminded of the Camera Lucida reading we did a while back. In particular, I was thinking about the online images that are randomly produced by something like Flickeur and how Barthes would have seen them. Would the concept of “what has been” still stand? Or because the images are coming from the Internet where digitally edited images are harder to detect, do these images have to be regarded in a different way? Do the images lose their credibility by being on the Internet?
