Description

Haptic Visions is about reading messages conveyed about the nanoscale and image use generally, with a particular focus on the rhetorical interactions among images, ourselves, and the material world.

More specifically, this book explores how visualizations like Eigler and Schweizer's form persuasive elements in arguments about manipulation and interaction at the atomic scale.

Haptic Visions also analyzes how arguments about atomic interaction expressed in images of the nanoscale affect our understanding of nanotechnology, as well as what visualizations like the "IBM" images imply about how digital images and scientific visualization technologies such as the one Eigler and Schweizer used (the scanning tunneling microscope or STM), help constitute arguments.
