Visual thinking with images
The document discusses various artists and concepts related to visual thinking and the representation of art, including André Malraux's idea of an 'imaginary museum' that reflects the digital age. It references Aby M. Warburg's Mnemosyne Atlas and examines the photographic reproduction of artworks, questioning the authorship of certain portraits. Additionally, it highlights connections between historical figures and their geographical movements, particularly in relation to art history.

- #14 You can also search for images using a drag & drop option.
- #15 The page with results will give you a number of options. You can search further for the same images but in different size and on different websites or you can search for visually similar images. The latter can be hit and miss, but it definitely gives interesting results! Google analyzes the image, creating a mathematical model based on shapes, lines, proportions, colors and other elements. It then matches the model against images already in Google’s index (http://insidesearch.blogspot.ie/2011/06/search-by-text-voice-or-image.html).
- #16 The search results: the same image but different sizes and sources on the top and visually similar images on the bottom.
