Welcome to the DIVA 200 Students

Here are some links to various uses of panoramic photography by artists and designers.
Notice how differently each person uses this technique, as narrative, as metaphor, as political critique, to name just a few uses.
How exactly do they do this? What kind of visual techniques are they using to accomplish what they want to communicate? And does this kind of photography feel more interactive?
