Ingenious Transformations and Visionary Technologies

Convenor:
Dr Sanda Miller, Southampton Institute, East Park Terrace, Southampton SO14 0YN. Tel 01703 319000. sanda.miller@solent.ac.uk.   

Ingenious transformations and visionary technologies have transformed the physical and psychological world from at least the Renaissance to the present day. From Leonardo's experiments with hydraulic engineering, comparative anatomy and musical instruments, through Isaac Newton's work in optics and colour, to current research interests in perception, visualisation, computer simulation, information transfer and digital imaging, established categories of understanding have been, and are being, continually re-imagined and revised.
