Abstract
El universo de la imagen técnica de nuestros días es de una riqueza desbordante. Existen tecnologías que hacen uso de toda clase de radiaciones, o de los múltiples efectos producidos por la luz y los fenómenos eléctricos para la producción de imágenes. O que saben aprovechar el refinamiento y precisión de los dispositivos electrónicos para captar y reproducir en forma de imágenes los fenómenos del mundo natural que pasan desapercibidos a nuestros sentidos, ya sea por su tamaño reducido, su lejanía o velocidad. Conocer el origen, la tipología, las bases cientifico-técnicas de estas herramientas, o los avances que la ciencia debe a su intervención, es la tarea de la presente obra, que completa una primera entrega: Fotografía y conocimiento: la fotografía y la ciencia. Desde los orígenes a 1927 (Editorial Complutense). En esta ocasión la atención se centra en el estudio del papel desempeñado por la imagen tecnológica en la adquisición de conocimiento en su etapa electrónica (desde los inicios a 1975). Indagar en la relación que se establece entre imagen y conocimiento pueder ser de gran ayuda a científicos, artistas y humanistas para entender el mundo iconográfico que nos rodea.
The universe of Technical Image in our days is of a extreme richness. There are technologies which make use of all sort of radiations, and of the multiple phenomena presented by electricity and light in order to produce images. Moreover there are some other technics which make advantages out of the precission and refinement of electronic developments and devices. So they capture and reproduce in the form of images a large number of natural phenomena that otherwise would be unnoticed to our senses because of their diminute sizes, distance from us or speed. To reveal the origin of these tools, as well as their typologies, scientific and technological background, and the advances they have provided to science, is the task of this book, which completes Photography and Knowledge: Photography and Science since its origins to 1927, a previous work on the subject, published by this author in Editorial Complutense. On this ocassion, attention is centered in the role played by photography in science during the electronic age: since its beginnings to 1975. To look back in the history of science to discover the relationship between image and knowledge might be of great help for humanists, artists and scientists.
