Exploring the diversity of visual representation, this book presents various cultural approaches to imagery, such as Australian x-ray art and cubist collages. The author argues that understanding pictures involves recognizing how their subjects evolve over time, proposing a framework to categorize their meanings. Highlighting the epistemic value of this representational diversity, the book also offers a fresh perspective on pictorial experience, likening images to visual aids like mirrors and binoculars, thereby enriching the discourse on how we perceive and interpret pictures.

Exploring the intersection of technology and creativity, the book delves into how computer art redefines traditional artistic concepts. Lopes emphasizes the importance of interactivity and the role of the user, suggesting that these elements are crucial for understanding the unique nature of computer art. Through this lens, he challenges established notions of art-making and invites readers to reconsider their perceptions of creativity in the digital age.
