İmgeler Nasıl Düşünür?

Digital images have become an integral part of communication media, especially television and the internet, from movies to video games, from photography to animations. By creating a different form of human relations and community, digitalization has, in a sense, given birth to a new sociology. There is so much intelligence loaded into image technologies that we often get the feeling that images are 'thinking'. Ron Burnett, who has extensive experience in the field of communication technologies and design, takes a closer look at this new 'image ecology'. Outlining how visual perception works, the author examines the new technologies that have made the current nature of the media possible, especially emphasizing interactive and participatory modes of operation and placing them in their historical context. Burnett, who also benefits from the insights brought by cognitive sciences about human consciousness, argues that images are at the center of many enigmas encountered in understanding the mind and body. He argues that images, as well as language, play a fundamental role in the formation of human consciousness, and that any discussion of human culture and nature cannot be productive without taking this role of images into account. We are publishing How Images Think with the author's foreword written for the Turkish edition, in which he discusses the developments in visual technologies in the last few years. It is a book that should be read not only by those who work or study in visual information processing fields such as design and cinema, but also by everyone who wants to make sense of the image bombardment they are constantly exposed to from television and computers and use it in alternative forms.
