MoMA director Glenn D. Lowry and curators Quentin Bajac and Roxana Marcoci discuss the opening of "Ocean of Images: New Photography 2015." Probing the effects of an image-based post-Internet reality, Ocean of Images examines various ways of experiencing the world: through images that are born digitally, made with scanners or lenses in the studio or the real world, presented as still or moving pictures, distributed as zines, morphed into three-dimensional objects, or remixed online.
