Aperture and the Photography Program in the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons The New School for Design are proud to present Barbara Probst, internationally recognized visual artist as a speaker to stimulate and encourage us to take a closer look at the possibilities of variations when it comes to photography and the involvement of technological techniques.
