Visualisation has become a concept that needs to be considered more deeply with the increasing technological and instrumental developments of the modern era. It is not merely an issue confined to specific disciplines but a phenomenon that manifests itself in all areas of life. In our everyday spatial experiences, we are continuously engaged in a process of visualized (environment)-visualisation, whether consciously or without seeking a deliberate methodological approach. In this context, Visualisation finds itself a part in many areas like physically, cognitively, and creatively.
This call aims to foster visualisation by considering the representation as a canopy term. The representational connection between reality and image fundamentally shapes the way we think about the world. This context also positions representation as an irreducible and unthinkable phenomenon. Representation not only influences how it is perceived but also reproduces the perception of vitality through relationships contemplated within this atmosphere of complexity and intertwinement. Whether in professional or everyday contexts, theological or scientific thought, constructivist or deconstructivist approaches, representations serve as events, drawings, situations, moments, or anything that assumes the role of a new image—each with its own unique atmosphere.
Within the emerging perspectives in visualisation this call aims to study as part of a collective process of thinking, creating, dialoguing, and producing. It embraces a wide range of disciplines, from art to engineering and from applied sciences to theoretical and metaphorical thinking. At its core, this platform is designed for sharing and discussion, bringing us together to establish Turkey’s first dedicated platform for representation studies. This platform welcomes anyone who wishes to share their ideas, projections, and perspectives. Together, we form an open research community dedicated to exchanging ideas. It is built on the understanding that representation is not merely a narrative tool or a static framework but a continuously evolving and reconstituted mode of visualisation.
