EDITOR'S NOTE:

Art Digital Magazine (AD MAG) is on a long-term hiatus. AD MAG was published from 2010 to 2016, and during that time it amassed the largest collection of feature length interviews and articles with digital artist and art administrators in the world. In time, AD MAG will return, but for now the domain redirects to Digital Art News (DAN).

"Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop," will open at the museum on Oct. 11 and features over 200 striking photographs taken and altered between the 1840s and the 1990s.  Read more.
