Meino, you've provided a succinct definition of what I meant to ask for when I used the term "cutting edge." I hope we don't digress into arguing the meaning of the term. Rather, to continue to provide visual examples and discuss them on there own terms. If a better term for "photographic art which extends our visual understanding of the world and/or the medium; without losing that which is inherently photographic (forming an image on a light sensitive plane with lens or facsimile of a lens - pinhole, etc.); feel free to suggest one. as for avant-garde, the dictionary says: new and unusual or experimental ideas, esp. in the arts, or the people introducing them.
