Comments on: Is von Bismarck’s Image Fulgurator be the death of photography? http://photo.blorge.com/2008/06/29/is-von-bismarcks-image-fulgurator-be-the-death-of-photography/ Photography tutorials and digital camera news Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:21:19 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: KarmicWarrior http://photo.blorge.com/2008/06/29/is-von-bismarcks-image-fulgurator-be-the-death-of-photography/comment-page-1/#comment-23447 KarmicWarrior Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:26:03 +0000 http://photo.blorge.com/?p=398#comment-23447 Ive seen the so-called Fulgurator when it won its prize at ARS Electronica. Its total crap. The most interesting thing it reveals is the how little people understand technology. Even as Julius Von Bismarck was attempting to demonstrate it live, he had to ask members in the audience not to use their cameras as it wouldnt work. His well-practiced girlfriend managed to eventually capture an image which had been 'modified' and even then it was overexposed and blurry. Another intersting point is that the 'fulgurated' image of Obama which is being touted to support his 'Guerilla' tactics never turned up anywhere in the press.. could it be that no-one elses images were manipulated? Not one 'fulgurated' image has been presented that hasnt been taken by his girlfriend. I fail to understand why this is groundbreaking since it is basically a projector...and one that doesnt work very well either.

So that might be one way around it. Also, finding the device itself and vandalizing it could become popular. It sounds like it doesn’t work unless the flash goes off on your camera.
