One of the most fascinating experiences to be had in photography – for free – is watching the extraordinary progress that the Magnum co-op is making in adopting multimedia technology as a further means of presenting members' work.
The Magnum in Motion site is building up a wonderful archive of 'In Motion' essays that mix still photography, audio, video footage and other techniques.
One of my favourites - and certainly one of the most mysterious – is No Whisper No Sigh, an introspective essay on the theme of silence – the silence of madness and ageing, of emptiness and isolation, the enforced silence of political oppression. It is simply gorgeous.
