Andreas Müller-Pohle has taken a radical approach, exploring the metadata of a photograph and questioning what representation means in the digital age. In Digital Scores (after Nicéphore Niépce), the earliest known photograph, an analogue photograph is being translated into alphanumeric digital code. The photograph was digitized and the information contained in the seven million bytes translated into alphanumeric signs. The information, unreadable for the human eye, represent the complete binary description of the oldest surviving photograph.
