Overview
Key facts
- Especially in today’s world of global communication channels, we need to know more about how images are perceived in order to create and disseminate them consciously and conscientiously.
- This field of Design Research focuses on the acquisition of knowledge in the wide field of iconic phenomena.
- Academic disciplines such as Art History, Linguistics, Psychology and Anthropology have described the need for a scientific approach to images.
- Most academic centers focus on research questions with a theoretical methodology. In contrast, the approach of “Practice-led Iconic Research” is focusing on the generation of knowledge through a practice based methodology.
- University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland's workshop “Inquiry by Design” introduces participants to the practice based issues of iconic research in the area of Visual Communication.
