"Without the computer-based simulation, the material culture of late-twentieth-century microphysics is not merely inconvenienced - it does not exist.”[1] |

The Imachinations throw light on the relationship between machine, mathematical concepts and the human imagination. The artifical notion fusing the latin words machina and imaginatio symbolizes a new quality of numeric images: At the one hand the code base of numeric images dissolves a static pictorial concept. Images can change and become mobile. At the other hand a new complex relation is created between code and image as two different levels of perception. Not only the final user is involved in this process, but indirectly the whole "imaging chain" with all the developers of the hard- and software machinery. So numeric images become a performative and highly social product as well. (more...)

Imachinative techniques are not applied only for military purpouses but also play an important role in the scientific context especially in astronomy, particle physiscs or biology.

The information processing in genomics has a lot of in common with the digital imaging processing - like in astronomy. There is just a "small" but interesting difference: genomics has almost no images.
