We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; onthousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science.Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's informatioexplosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation;images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematicand interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to thevisual. Imagery in the 21st Century examines this revolution in various fields, with researchersfrom the natural sciences and the humanities meeting to achieve a deeper understanding of themeaning and impact of the image in our time. The contributors explore and discuss new critical termsof multidisciplinary scope, from database economy to the dramaturgy of hypermedia, fromvisualizations in neurosciences to the image in bio art. They consider the power of the image in thedevelopment of human consciousness, pursue new definitions of visual phenomena, and examine newtools for image research and visual analysis. The goal is to expand visual competence ininvestigating new visual worlds and to build cross-disciplinary exchanges among the arts,humanities, and natural sciences.
