This has led to the removal of error from the prevailing image culture with the consequent foregrounding of accuracy and resemblance in relation to everyday photography practice. Error images disrupt the conventions of photographic representation and in so doing present an alternate conception of photography as emergent, processual and performative. The error image exposes photography as a human and technological ‘act’ and presents the viewer with a transformative visual experience which has aesthetic interest and value.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/digtalPhotographyerroraestheticsThe Intermittent ImageBook chapter
