    Defying the limits of the plane: Two-dimensional space and its consequences in the search for the order of nature
    (Intellect, 01.04.2015) López Grüninger, Paloma
    The discussion about the order of nature holds a central position in the History of Biological Science. It reached its culmination between the mid-eighteenth and the late nineteenth century, when new knowledge forced a rearrangement of existing thought patterns to adapt them to the recently discovered complexity. Not only different concepts about the relationships among organisms were superseding one another, but also images, as a variety of structures were used to visually display these ideas. Each of these visualizations, usually described as ladders, maps, networks and trees, developed a particular, individual formal language, generating a unique and fascinating collection of graphical examples. This formal variability is a product of the changing ideas about nature, about its origins, and even about the position attributed to human beings within it. However, it is also the result of the authors’ struggle with the drawing space in which this order was to be inscribed. By studying the history of the illustration of the order of nature from the perspective of applied image production, by analysing the strategies their authors used to visually express their ideas, the graphical elements they employed, in summary, the visual choices they made, much can be learnt about the visual medium itself, its specificity, its possibilities, its power. Using this approach, the following article will show that the transition from the scala naturae to maplike or treelike structures cannot be seen exclusively as proof of an intellectual transition, as a succession of abstract ideas, but as creative attempts to solve specific spatial problems imposed by the realm of the visual.

    Premises for Interaction between Images
    (Routledge, 12/2017) Reymond, Claire
    When images are seen in pairs, the viewer seeks the perceivable features shared by the two images, to compare them. The aim of this process is to understand why they stand next to each other and also, if possible, to understand the images as a unity. Studies in the field of art history (see the method of ‘comparative seeing’) and psychology (as an example ‘visual metaphors’) investigate–in the field of image-juxtaposition–different aspects of this phenomenon. Nevertheless, the premises that are needed for images to be interpreted as belonging together have yet to be examined on the image-level. This study analyzes the basic conditions that should be given for image connection processes to occur and tries to answer the following question: “Which pictorial elements can be detected as premises for a relation between two images?”. The investigation is an explorative study using the method of practice-led iconic research to detect the premises that allow connection processes between images to occur. The analysis documents the relevance of different image-features, as for example, the analogy of the directional positions within the images or the width of the stroke in line drawings. An eye-tracking study, that was conducted as a subsequent step, strengthens the findings of the practical research.

    E-Inclusion – Defining Basic Image Properties for Illustrated Stimuli in Aphasia Treatment
    (Routledge, 12/2019) Reymond, Claire; Müller, Christine; Grumbinaite, Indre
    Word production is stimulated by images in treatment processes for people with aphasia (Heuer & Hallowell, 2007). Although stimulation through pictorial stimuli has a long tradition in aphasia therapy, there is a lack in research on which image stimuli are the most suitable for this purpose (Brown & Thiessen, 2018). Current research assumes that stimulation via photographic images evokes better and more direct retrieve of searched words, than stimulation by illustrations (Heuer, 2016). However, the illustrations investigated so far mostly comprise black and white line drawings and there are hardy no studies investigating possible effects of different image parameters as style, image cropping or perspective in relation to clear naming. We developed a visual concept of illustrated images enabling clear determinability of activities and objects. The 128 designed stimuli that meet linguistic research criteria were named by 62 students regarding "name agreement" and evaluated on a 5-point scale with respect to "visual complexity" and "image agreement". The illustrated images will be examined in a following study regarding the correctness of the naming by persons with aphasia and be compared with corresponding photographic stimuli. The analysis presented here is part of the study E-Inclusion, an interdisciplinary project that includes researchers in life science technology, linguistics and speech therapy as well as image research from the University of Applied Sciences and Art Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW).
