On the theory of the visual image and the imaginary: the black boxes of communication and after life of images.

Abstract

This paper designs the outlines of a theory of the visual image and the imaginary, introducing concepts such as black box and post-life images. Speaking to Vilem Flusser, Aby Warburg and Michel Foucault proposes a critical reading of the image-visual technical, raising an ecology of the image and the imaginary.
