Is an image really worth a thousand words?
This seemingly simple question leads us into the interdisciplinary field of image science.
In it, we find further questions:
What is it about images that makes them produce meaning?
Why are images so hotly debated?
How are images created and used?
How can images be viewed, read, or understood?
Are images merely an evident “abrasion of reality” or do they generate their own realities?
etc.
Depending on the focus of the individual elaboration, points can be credited in the area of gender and design.
