I'd like to go but it's in a very inconvenient place: Toronto.

Are these chemical or digital prints and photography?

The image in the link appears to show two prints printed using a lightjet process - digital to laser to either legacy Cibachrome or newer Fuji RA-4.
The other print is identified as being inkjet.
Prior to the 2013 date in the title, Jeff Wall may have been the largest user of the large format version of Cibachrome material designed for transmission viewing.

and this matters because?

I asked if these are chemical or digital prints and photography in response to Bob Carney;s comment that they have high production value. I;m trying to understand what gives photos high production value.

Jeff Wall is pretty much just using inkjet, now:



The prints he's made since then satisfy him, so that's all that matters.

The prints shown are Ciba trans, as well as new inkjet prints and he lists some of the BW as silver gelatin , looking at them they look like inkjets in monochrome but I am not sure about this aspect.
Some prints go back to the 80's and some are very current. Thie article posted by Don IH above is great btw.
