Full sense of language (Y1,1, pt. 1)

From the beginning of this convolute we're looking at the advent, the start, the conception, the coming into being of photography. Its birth. And we look at the narrative trajectories in which it is placed. As Benjamin writes, the citation is a "prophecy," and the author Wiertz attributes a mythic quality to the machine, being "born" and becoming the "glory of our age:" it holds the mythic status of "titan," which the gods defeated. And while the citation lists out the artisanal qualities of painting destined to be replaced by photography, it also hypothesizes the return of painting, at a more refined level, to follow photography, where an abstracted architectural sense of art and creation is achieved. These are "painters in the full sense of the word." This is a kind of messianic time when words have their full sense, a time when traditional artistic and artisanal value reclaim ascendance. Is this finally what technology is directed toward? The answer seems to be a dialectical (that is, heavily qualified) yes. And we take the point that when these traditional values do return to the fore, it's then that the full sense of language is manifested.
