Visual Science

Chair: Stephen Hilyard (University of Wisconsin - Madison)

This is a working group. There will be no papers or formal presentations, rather scholars and artists will carry on a discussion of questions and issues pertinent to “Visual Science.”

 

Increasingly, the physical, biological, and social sciences rely on graphic means for relaying information. As well, visual technologies permeate society: medical scans, facial recognition and other forms of surveillance, graphic browsers, gaming, etc. These practices have significant social, political, and cultural ramifications. Visual culture theorists frequently analyze these impacts but we less often have an opportunity to come into dialogues with the researchers and developers that create and deploy these technologies. This session hopes to stage a transdiciplinary dialogue among visual scientists and visual “culturists.”
