[-empyre-] Process as paradigm

[Erika Jean Lincoln]

Hi Maria, Yann,
Isn't it more precise to say that the data set of the digital image is "algorithmicly" processed through an computer which leads to a different data set which is then represented as an image?

To me the image is not the active agent.
Thoughts?
