PHOTOGRAPHY WILL ALWAYS BE A LESSER MEDIUM THAN PAINT

Photography is accessible, quotidian and disposable, consumed and discarded in the space of a click and a flash. It is created by technicians, not artists. It presents facts devoid of insight, and even in this respect is fatally undermined by the ease, and prevalence, of digital manipulation.
Yet are these views as anachronistic as the artist with his easel and paintbrush, flailing to capture a scene as the world accelerates around him? Join the debate, as Intelligence Squared gathers masters of both mediums for a contemporary exploration of a historically fraught relationship.
WHEN Monday November 1st, 2010
Doors open at 6.15pm. The event will begin at 7.00pm and finish at 8.30pm.

Why would I pay someone £25 for that? He is obviously narrow minded and doesn't understand photography.

John, my dear chap, Phillips de Pury is an art dealer in the West End of London, and the speakers reflect a wide range of different attitudes to the media concerned in this debate. To be honest, £25 would probably be a waste of your money anyway, as you'd understand very little of what was said.

Will, thanks for the assumption. You have no clue who you are talking to. Have you been to the latest exhibition at Howick Place? No need to answer, it is for private collectors only, I am sure you wouldn't fit in there...
It sounds like you are a pompous ass similar to "Philips de Pury". Get your head out of your ass.
