All stored in the \u2018cloud\u2019, pretending to be collective memory while in reality shaped by commercially operated algorithms: systems locked up in black boxes virtually no one has access to.<\/p>\n<p>And still, we (want to) believe in photographic images.

If we do not manage to create a system with transparency and built-in guarantees re the way images are generated, all facts will become exchangeable opinions.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"eut-empty-space eut-height-1x\" style=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"eut-element eut-image eut-align-center\" style=\"\"><div class=\"eut-image-wrapper eut-popup-item\" style=\"max-width:1280px;\"><div class=\"eut-thumbnail-wrapper\"  style=\"max-width: 1280px;\"><div class=\"eut-thumbnail\"  style=\"padding-top: 75%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/wwlight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/F29DFFFB-4D4A-41A8-9415-2BF5FBCA863281-1.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" data-eutf-filter=\"yes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wwlight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/F29DFFFB-4D4A-41A8-9415-2BF5FBCA863281-1.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/wwlight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/F29DFFFB-4D4A-41A8-9415-2BF5FBCA863281-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wwlight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/F29DFFFB-4D4A-41A8-9415-2BF5FBCA863281-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wwlight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/F29DFFFB-4D4A-41A8-9415-2BF5FBCA863281-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wwlight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/F29DFFFB-4D4A-41A8-9415-2BF5FBCA863281-1-560x420.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/wwlight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/F29DFFFB-4D4A-41A8-9415-2BF5FBCA863281-1-900x675.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/div><\/div>  <\/div><\/div><div class=\"eut-empty-space eut-height-1x\" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_column_text text_style=&#8221;small-text&#8221;]<strong>Bas Vroege<\/strong><br \/>\nDirector<br \/>\nParadox<br \/>\nEdam &#8211; NL[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"eut-empty-space eut-height-2x\" style=\"\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row padding_top_multiplier=&#8221;custom&#8221; columns_gap=&#8221;40&#8243; equal_column_height=&#8221;equal&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;5%&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text text_style=&#8221;leader-text&#8221;]Director Paradox Edam &#8211; NL[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]We came to understand that \u2018straight&#8217; photography manipulated our understanding of reality.
