Il libro

Since a few decades, we witness an increasing interaction between humanities and technology. Such interaction has led to maturing the awareness of how a synergy between these areas of knowledge can bring a significant progress in both fields. Visuality research can benefit in a special way from such a contamination of knowledge. This book consists of a selection of contributions taken from those presented in occasion of the 2^nd Seminal Day of the Interdepartmental Center on Visuality (ciVIS) of University of Genoa, Italy. The event was held in February 2022 and was specifically dedicated to the interactions between humanities and technology in visuality research. Contributions span theoretical, foundational, and methodological aspects as well as provide examples of real-world applications.
