Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Science and technological visualizations are tautologically intertwined with the science and technology they represent. From the platonic solids to non-linear neural networks, icons, models, and the traces of the technologically unseeable have fostered scientific theory and practice. Unseeable electromagnetic waves allow access to our bodies' interiors; representations of invisible molecular forms propagate applied chemistry; and microscopy gives rise to topological visions of the quantum mechanical. Looking back to the work of early chemists (alchemists) and forward to innovations that have been conceived in the imagination but not yet realized in scientific and technological practice, this Special Issue seeks papers from a diversity of disciplinary and cultural perspectives. Such perspectives will examine and analyze historical, contemporary, and futuristic notions of technological and scientific representation. These include, but are not limited to, nanotechnology and robotics in art and/or science; scientific communication to the public; commercial and industrial applications; science fiction; data visualization; and pre- and early modern scientific iconography. We seek a variety of disciplinary and cultural perspectives and encourage papers from artists (visual, literary, performance, e.g.), theorists, philosophers, scientists, and technologists.
