“…The expectation that we can directly capture reality within symbolic depictions thereof is nevertheless very much alive in our current, technological age – perhaps even more so than ever before. For example, Bredekamp (2011) writes about the “principle of disjunction,” whereby the more natural and “real” such scientific images appear, the more constructed and artificial they are (see also, Bredekamp, Schneider, & Dünkel, 2008). As images are increasingly created by technological devices, we have come to think of ourselves as neutral observers of reality, whose “objectivity” is assured to the degree that our tools remove our “subjectivity”; to the degree that objective facts replace subjective interpretation.…”

To the extent that we expect ideographs to be closer to the reality they depict than spoken or written words we are succumbing to the perennial allure of positivistic thinking. Morin powerfully argues that human communication, including ideography, cannot be understood apart from practice, thus removing the positivistic assumption that made the “puzzle of ideography” puzzling in the first place.

Climate model simulation visualization from a visual studies perspective

The article gives an overview on the visualization of climate model data simulation from a visual studies perspective. On one hand the question is raised of what it means culturally when global images are used to communicate scenarios of a changing climate future beyond the field of climate research itself. The product of this process is one of the most widespread ‘icons’ of climate change, the image of the blue planet that has turned red. On the other hand insights into how these visualizations are designed in the studio of a computer designer are given. The focus here is on the way in which specific visualization software shapes images of a changing global climate. The article takes as its starting point the perspective of visual and media studies, because images have become so crucial in communicating research results of climate science and convincing policy agents and the public. What is special about scientific images depicting climate change is that they have implicitly also become political images. As today various actors and recipient groups are making use of pictures depicting climate change, the article concerns climate science, media studies, computer visualization, cultural studies, and politics alike.
