“…The cross-sectional model, which had been in development specifically for blind and visually impaired audiences, allowed participants to explore both the internal and external data of the object, revealing its shell-like shape and interior neutron star. Touching the hollow interior of this model can help participants to better comprehend the appearance of Cas A and distinguish the tactile surface from the distant object it represents, and therefore it helps to achieve a stronger sense of the 3D printed object's scale in relation to the supernova remnant that served as its model [Pentcheva, 2006].…”

Astronomy has been an inherently visual area of science for millenia, yet a majority of its significant discoveries take place in wavelengths beyond human vision. There are many people, including those with low or no vision, who cannot participate fully in such discoveries if visual media is the primary communication mechanism. Numerous efforts have worked to address equity of accessibility to such knowledge sharing, such as through the creation of threedimensional (3D) printed data sets. This paper describes progress made through technological and programmatic developments in tactile 3D models using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to improve access to data. Keywords: Professionalism, professional development and training in science communication;Public engagement with science and technology; Science communication: theory and models "The tangible appeals to and mobilizes all five senses, while the visible addresses itself to just the eye. It is our modern culture's obsession with making things visible, fueled by optical visuality, that makes us project a similar framework onto medieval art."Pentcheva, 2006, p.636.

“…The Hodegretria (Figure 1) is one of the most venerated icons, whose original was said by tradition to have been painted by St Luke himself (Ouspensky 1992;Ouspensky and Lossky 1999;Pentcheva 2006 While different, both icons have common features (Leloup 2000). In both, the Mother and the Child wear richly textured clothes.…”

A Theological Approach to Organizational Visual Representations

We argue that analytical and critical aspects of theology can contribute to organizational research, and potentially assist in elaborating new concepts. To lay this out, we use Christian orthodox theology of icons as an analytical framework to study organizational visual representations. We generate three important insights. First, we point to the need, so far neglected, to question and theorize the relation between the representation and what is represented. Second, we highlight the prominence of symbolism over aesthetic aspects. Third, we underline that images are both embedded within meaningful relationships with other images, and used in social and power relationships. Building on these insights, we elaborate the notion of epistemic power to account for the capacity of visual representations to provide knowledge of an object of inquiry which cannot be immediately conscripted nor clearly perceived in its entirety. We contribute to the integration of theological analysis in organizational research by showing how it can further extend our understanding of secular organizational settings.
