Visualisation

How are images produced and employed in different cultures and what is the impact that the images have in their respective contexts?

Illustrations and images occur in academic work in many contexts. On the one hand, they are used to visualise research data, while on the other hand, photos and videos also serve as research methods or research objects themselves.

High-quality visualisations of research findings are becoming increasingly important in scientific publications, and nowadays some of them are produced by professional graphic design agencies. Naturally it is in the interest of every scientist to depict research findings in a powerful and easily comprehensible way that enables clear comparisons, whether that’s in a scientific journal, in a teaching situation, or when interacting with society more broadly. At the same time, a clever presentation of data can also be problematic, as it can come across as manipulative, call forth certain emotions in viewers, or hide weaknesses of a data set.
