- Title
Digital Pictures, Sampling, and Vagueness: The Ontology of Digital Pictures.
- Authors
ZEIMBEKIS, JOHN
- Abstract
The article discusses the ontology of digital pictures and explores the division of images into autographic and allographic categories. The author argues that digital pictures are allographic and discusses notational aspects of digital images. The author also explores philosopher Nelson Goodman's theory that the pictures are always autographic. Specific topics include digital display devices for digital pictures, replicable qualities of film-based pictures, atomistic aspects of digital pictures, color and pixels in digital pictures, and theories from Austen Clark.
