Slow Photography
Slow photography is a term describing a tendency in contemporary photography and arts. In response to the spread of digital photography and the snapshot, artists and photographers retake manual techniques and working methods to work slower, manually and in constant dialogue with the physical materials of the images. It may also refer to continued documentation after the main event has occurred. The concept was discussed in detail by David Campany in 2003, in his essay Safety in Numbness: Some remarks on the problems of ‘Late Photography’ Campany uses several terms to explain the concept, "cool" "slow" "late" are all used. Campany opts for the latter suggesting it is a type of photography that is undertaken after the main event has happened. The term appeared in a 2011 Slate.com piece by journalist Tim Wu, though it may have been used elsewhere as well. It was also used by Norwegian photographer, artist and photo educator Johanne Seines Svendsen in the article "The Slow Photo ...

Slow Movement (culture)
The slow movement (sometimes capitalised Slow movement or Slow Movement) advocates a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace. It began with Carlo Petrini's protest against the opening of a McDonald's restaurant in Piazza di Spagna, Rome in 1986 that sparked the creation of the slow food movement. Over time, this developed into a subculture in other areas, like the Cittaslow organisation for "slow cities". The "slow" epithet has subsequently been applied to a variety of activities and aspects of culture. Geir Berthelsen and his creation of The World Institute of Slowness presented a vision in 1999 for an entire "slow planet" and a need to teach the world the way of slowness. In Carl Honoré's 2004 book, ''In Praise of Slow'', he describes the slow movement thus: Professor Guttorm Fløistad summarises the philosophy, stating: The slow movement is not organised and controlled by a single organisation. A fundamental characteristic of the slow movement is that it is propo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Slow Food
Slow Food is an organization that promotes local food and traditional cooking. It was founded by Carlo Petrini in Italy in 1986 and has since spread worldwide. Promoted as an alternative to fast food, it strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encourages farming of plants, seeds, and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem. It promotes local small businesses and sustainable foods. It also focuses on food quality, rather than quantity. It was the first established part of the broader slow movement. It speaks out against overproduction and food waste. It sees globalization as a process in which small and local farmers and food producers should be simultaneously protected from and included in the global food system. Organization Slow Food began in Italy with the founding of its forerunner organization, Arcigola, in 1986 to resist the opening of a McDonald's near the Spanish Steps in Rome.Carlo Petrini, William McCuaig (trans.), Alice Waters (foreword). ...
