NYC / ACM SIGGRAPH

Science and Information Systems New York, NY
Presents a conference on
UNDERSTANDING IMAGES
on May 21-22,1993
Understanding Images: Artists, designers, scientists,
engineers and educators share the problem of moving
information from one mind to another. Traditionally, they
have used pictures, words, demonstrations, music and dance
to communicate imagery. However, expressing complex notions
such as God and infinity or a seemingly well defined concept
such as a flower can present challenges which far exceed
their technical skills. The explosive use of computers as
visualization and expression tools has compounded this
problem. In hypermedia, multimedia and virtual reality
systems vast amounts of information confront the observer or
participant. Wading through a multitude of simultaneous
images and sounds in possibly unfamiliar representations,
a confounded user asks: What does it all mean? Since image
construction, transmission, reception, decipherment and
ultimate understanding are complex tasks strongly influenced
by physiology, education and culture; and since electronic
media radically amplify each processing step, then we, as
electronic communicators, must determine the fundamental
paradigms for composing imagery for understanding.
Therefore, the purpose of this conference is to bring
together a breadth of disciplines, including, but not
limited to, the physical, biological and computational
sciences, technology, art, psychology, philosophy, and
education, in order to define and discuss the issues
essential to image understanding within the computer
graphics context.
