【 摘 要 】
The old concept of eidos summed up those of âformâ and âimageâ of an object; this is the subject covered here, supporting a realistic theory of conception and design, as opposed to the anti-realism of the postmodern age and its media conception of âimageâ. Nowadays it is believed that some ways of conceiving the form and image of the artefactsâaccording to the current tendency towards naturalisation in social science, which has followed the converging technological and scientific progress of the third industrial revolutionâderive from particular morphogenetic (ontogenetic and phylogenetic) models developed in natural science. From this point of view, the subject of ânatural imagesâ has become a central issue, which can be interpreted in two considerably different meanings: (1) as perceptual characteristics of natural environments; (2) as a format of visions. The issue of ânatural imagesâ (by incorporating the meanings 1â2) is a morphological matter, which is highly relevant to both the natural (cognitive) and cultural (anthropologic) points of view in visual studies and theory of images. In other words, the topic allows some remarks on the ways the concepts of âformâ and âimageâ equally concern Naturalia and Artificialia.This difference measures the complexity of the issue that we exemplify only in the case of cellular automata, but with a particular focus on the simultaneous new emerging meanings of the term âimageâ. The different specific meanings of âimageâ articulate the themes of the essay: from the image interpreted as shape, eidos and Bildâi.e., as objective geometry (the shape of things)âto its definition in terms of Gestalt, i.e., as subjective geometry (format of perception).
