The question of the real referent of a photograph is thereby secondary. The question has become largely irrelevant in the digital age. The digital medium strives for optimisation and idealisation. It is hence more closely bound up with the mental dimension than any medium to date. That is why it exerts such fascination and is so ardently coveted.
