Abstract

This paper explores the complexities of objective reality in the digital era, using André Bazin’s theory of realism as a lens. As digital advancements, such as deepfakes and immersive technologies, blur the boundaries between the tangible and virtual, they prompt a re-evaluation of Bazin’s principles on the ‘ontology of the photographic image’. The study critically examines how these digital innovations both challenge and enrich Bazin’s notions of unmediated representation, underscoring the need for a contemporary dialogue on the implications of digital technologies for our understanding of truth and reality.
