From next month, the Photographers' Gallery is holding is a series of talks that will look at the fascinating relationship between digital photography and memory.

Kicking off with Ana-Materialism & The Pineal Eye: Descartes, Duchamp and Bataille After Photo Booth, professor Johnny Golding of the University of Greenwich will be moderating a discussion about taking digital photography outside of its normal, accepted wisdom.

Which is to say, what more is photography than a visual record of a moment in time, a memory of an even and/or a tangible piece of truth?

Following on from that, Rachel Wells, lecturer in Art History and Theory at Newcastle University, will lead an examination of the "relationship between recognition and intelligibility".

Beyond that, Damian Sutton, from Middlesex University, looks at the idea of delays with digital photography, perhaps referencing specifically compact cameras, which, compared to DSLRs, does longer to snap a picture.

What then is lost in that short window of time?

Meanwhile, Daniel Rubenstein presents an interesting debate surrounding the new meaning of photography in a digital age, principally looking at how traditional forms of photography – film and photo books – co-exist with photography on computers and online, tagged and stored and imbued with all sorts of data.

All talks are free and start from September 5th.
