While it has traditionally been seen as a means of documenting an external reality or expressing an internal feeling, photography is now capable of actualizing never-existed pasts and experiences. Thanks to the latest photographic technologies, we can now take photos in computer games, interpolate them in Virtual Reality platforms, or synthesize them via Artificial Intelligence. To account for the most recent shifts in conceptualizations of photography, the contributors propose the term virtual photography as a binding theoretical framework, defined as a photography that retains the efficiency or function of 'real' (camera-based) photography while manifesting it in unorthodox ways.
