Blackout

Blackout presents a selection of photographs drawn from a newspaper’s electronic archive and represents “stand-alone” images reproduced between 1965 and 1985. Until the widespread adoption of digital workflows, archivists produced microfilm copies of each issue of a particular newspaper. As microfilm has become virtually obsolete, scans of microfilmed newspapers have been made for transfer to digital databases. Scanning represents 9 stages of reproduction and, at each stage, the technology that transfers the image leaves its mark on the process.

These stages are
Negative-> Printing-> Halftone separation-> Newspaper printing-> Scanned file-> PDF-> Tif file-> Print on demand Publication.
