The entire exhibition can be viewed online now. A gallery exhibition is planned for June  17 through July 9, 2021, with a reception on June 17, 2021, subject to any restrictions that are in place at that time.

RI Center Managing Director David DeMelim explains that the show could include

any alternate form of image capture from pinhole to scanner and all forms of contact printing and alternate printmaking processes. We included toy cameras and a number of other LoFi approaches to be able to more fully explore what is possible without the aid of a high end camera system. In the age of the selfie, with the ability to share an image around the world in a matter of moments, we sought to present a selection of work to inspire a renewed interest in how images are converted into physical objects.

The exhibition was juried by fine art photographer, master printer, curator, and educator Ann Jastrab, who is Executive Director of the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA.
