Loretta Lux began photographing in 1999. Her portraits are mainly of children, often dressed in vintage clothes and sometimes Lux's childhood things. The main feature of the images are the digitally adjusted subjects.
"Elongated limbs, oversized heads, and eyes spaced just a little farther apart than average contribute to the strange mystique found in their cool gazes and isolated locations."

She also merges the subjects with their surroundings. They are either painted by Lux or taken from her photographs of landscapes and interiors.

Aziz and Cucher.
Aziz and Cucher focused on the representation of the body in relation to new technology. This type of exhibition showed a new age of digital manipulation.
This kind of digital manipulation allowed people to create surreal images. For example, "The Fabulous Beast." Which is a digital composite of all the dictators at the time. It was also used for political reasons or in the news like the photo of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on Time magazine.
