    Abstract : This study scans six decades of film history in search for video images, the imaginaries within which they are framed, and (taking cues from the archaeological methods of Friedrich Kittler and Michel Foucault) their technical, historical, and institutional conditions of existence. The British experimental science fiction film Anti-Clock (Jane Arden and Jack Bond, 1979) revolves around a video device with the capacity to confront subjects with their own repressed memory images.

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IS and Healthcare; artefact; infrastructure; interpretive field study; actor-network theory; PACS;

    Abstract : Globally, health care is making huge investments in information technology. Several studies illustrate that IT implementations have been fraught with problems.

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer graphics; Monte Carlo methods; importance sampling; hierarchical techniques; rendering;

    Abstract : Ever since the first three-dimensional computer graphics appeared half a century ago, the goal has been to model and simulate how light interacts with materials and objects to form an image. The ultimate goal is photorealistic rendering, where the created images reach a level of accuracy that makes them indistinguishable from photographs of the real world. READ MORE
