BH In Defense of Poor Image Response

In Hito Steyerl's In Defense of Poor Image, she explains how images that are of poorer qualities have a lot to do with the process of how they got to being such bad quality and that they're not the original picture anymore. She puts a lot of thought into the different ways that the images are passed on to lose their substance and that they are not as valuable anymore because they've been degraded to a lower class in this society she describes that holds a hierarchy of image quality; those with the highest resolution being the high or rich class. She also relates how these poor images are similar to reality in the way that lots of things in our everyday lives aren't really about the original idea but just about exploitation and conformism. This is because of the use of objects that produce lower quality images like cellphones and home computers. I think that keeping images high quality is important and my preference but I don't think there's necessarily something bad about images being poor if that's the way they are produced. Or, if they are edited  to be improved I think that's a good thing.
