Images belong to the basic instruments of almost every academic discipline in our days, in sciences, in social sciences, and in humanities. In the last fifteen or twenty years "the domain of images" has expanded enormously and even in unexpected directions. In spite of the widely and quickly spread use of visual media within research there exists no or very little cross-disciplinary theoretical discussion of the ontology of images and their instrumental functions. This matter of fact was the main reason why it seemed important to the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in Göteborg to arrange a conference on the function of "images as science", which is a less noticed but highly relevant epistemological aspect on the diversity of contemporary visual practices. In this book the reader will meet imaging practices and image research in medias res and presented in a way that will make it possible to register the state of the arts not only regarding different kinds of disciplinary visual codes but also insofar as concerns a growing consciousness of interdisciplinarity within this vast field.
