简介

《Seeing Science》是一本关于摄影在可视化科学和构建人类知识中所扮演角色的文集与图片集，涵盖从微观到宏观的广阔维度。摄影与科学长期以来相互交织，共同塑造了我们观察世界的方式。科学家将摄影作为收集信息、探索和学习的工具，同时摄影也被用来推动科学进步，并长期充当科学与公众之间的界面。科学与其说是一座事实的大厦，不如说是一个发现和探究的过程，在这一层面上它与艺术并非截然不同；艺术家也一直在运用类似的科学原则，通过摄影以不同的方式想象世界，为我们带来新的体验和观看方式。本书呈现了这两种视角，探索科学如何被变得可感知，收录了超过三百幅图像和六十篇短文，引导读者思考我们的知识是如何通过与摄影图像的互动而形成和转变的。

Seeing Science offers an insightful and reader-friendly collection of essays and pictures about photography's role in visualizing science and building human knowledge—from micro to macro levels and everything in between. Photography and science have long been intertwined, helping to shape the way we look at the world. Scientists use photography as a way to gather information, explore, and learn, but just as important, photography is also used to promote scientific advances and has long served as an interface between the sciences and the public. Our understanding of outer space depends on images sent to Earth from the Hubble Space Telescope, just as our understanding of our own bodies depends on X-rays. Images make visible what lies beyond human perception. Science is less an edifice of facts than a process of discovery and inquiry. In this way, it is not dissimilar to art; artists have engaged with some of the same scientific principles, using photography to imagine the world differently and present us with new experiences and ways of seeing. This volume presents both perspectives exploring how science is made perceptible, featuring over three hundred images and sixty short texts. Together they engage readers in a timely exploration of the extent to which our knowledge is formed and transformed through our interactions with photographic imagery.
