Image technologies: motif and context
| Prequisites: | Practice of image analysis |
| Objectives: | To study the interaction between image-making techniques and visual perception |
| Description: | Examples of image-making processes reproduced in web animations; interpretation. |
 |
IMAGES AND CONTEXT |
Numerous simulation devices involve relating images and their context, or motif and context in an image |
|
- The visual encyclopaedia: The purpose of sets of images may be to give a universal view of the world
- Image-reproduction processes
The picture-making techniques imply various combinations of motif and context
 |
DIGITAL IMAGES |
| How do these ideas apply to digital images (as opposed to digitised earlier media?) | |
- From image-making experiments to installations
Present-day installations can be inspired by early image-making experiments
- Digital image 'layers' and the motif/background relationship
The motif/background relationship is now conveyed in digital image software by the 'layers'
