Documenting the decline of Polaroid and analog photography — William Ewing — MIT Museum Talks
MIT Museum Talks is an ongoing video series, providing a closer look at objects and ideas through the lens of museum staff and guest speakers. Here, "The Polaroid Project" curator William Ewing talks about Blacked Out Polaroid Sign, 2011 by S.B. Walker, an artwork documenting the dereliction of the Polaroid headquarters in Waltham, MA.
This talk was originally offered during a 2020 virtual event in conjunction with our exhibition “The Polaroid Project: At the Intersection of Art and Technology.” #Polaroid #MIT #MITMuseumTalks
